I don't see anything here that requires dynamic filter selection. By the way, "proprietary and closed form" sounds like it'll violate my copyright.

But if you believe this is really useful, we can talk about your protocol extension proposal. BUT: *ONLY* if you submit a patch for MPD that implements this protocol completely and properly (this is complicated stuff!). If you don't write the code, I'm not interested in your proposal, and you shouldn't waste any time writing the proposal. Actually, you should write the "dynamic filter" code first, and then we add the protocol extension to control it. I predict that this will not happen, but I'd be very happy if you prove me wrong.
