It's not in my near-term plans. Where are you planning on using it?  
Are

there some clients that support it?


It may be useful in loaded web-mail applications (base64 decoding  
implemented in C is more cpu/memory efficient than in perl or other  
web scripting language).


And may be we will use this extension in the webmail for our free- 
mail service (http://mail.rambler.ru)


Popular desktop clients AFAIK don't support rfc3516.

Is it possible to write plugin for support this extension?


I think a plugin would be possible, since it's possible to add  
dynamically more FETCH handlers using imap_fetch_handlers_register().  
With v1.1 this is even easier because you can use lib-mail/message- 
decoder.h to have Dovecot decode the base64/qp parts. Hmm. Although it  
forces translating charset to UTF-8, which isn't wanted with BINARY. I  
guess that part could have been made optional in the API..
