I followed this link and didnt pay much attention to the last edit and reply dates, so I put some feedback on there regarding some of the proposed fields. Then I noticed the 7 month difference... but if its not too late, have a look. Having some form of handshake on connection establishment is a good way to allow for future non-intrusive extensions that dont require protocol version bumps, each side may advertise their supported extensions/features, such as authentication or whatever it may be.
