From the point of view of package managers using SPDX expression syntax in metadata, very strong preference for a unitary identifier like "BSDplusPatents" over a license exception.
To me there's a more basic objection: it is not presented as an "exception", as that term has been used in free software/open source licensing culture (mainly in the GPL family), and to think of it as an exception could have implications for interpretation of the existing BSD licenses. BTW I support Jilayne's suggestion that SPDX try to define what an 'exception' is for SPDX purposes.
