Like this http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21603 ?
While this is not an attempt to define general extensibility mechanisms,
it does seem to address some of Edgar's and Tero's concerns... I think
it is a good example of the kind of extensibility needed. The bug asks
for a specific solution to a specific problem, but a general treatment
of extensibility might make it very easy.
Have fun,
Shai.

The best thing to do is to open a bugzilla enhancement request with
*specific* tags and methods you need improved. Make sure the
suggestions
are relevant to the current state of the tags.
