Here's what I think we would need to do in order to not break old clients:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-January/035049.html

Another, probably better, way to do it would be to define a new flag
like XkbSA_HasGroupFlags inside the XkbModAction flags field when
group_flags and group_XXX are valid rather than potentially garbage.
That would avoid the whole version-negotiation nightmare, as nothing
appears to be too picky about extra flags being defined.

Five years later, it would also be good to have support inside
libxkbcommon (which has a pretty decent test suite) and xcb-proto for
the flags.
