There already is such an extension.  See:

http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/texture_compression_dxt1.txt

However, supporting this outright still does not resolve the potential legal
problem.  Furthermore, we still have to be able to support potential software
fallbacks.  We can't do that without a way to handle compressed textures in
software.  Without a license for S3TC, we're not going to add any further
support for S3TC textures.

Sorry.
