Extensible syntax is a specific, documented proposal. I posted some of the idea to this list a long time ago, as Carsten pointed out. One application of extensible syntax is "this". :) You can use extensible syntax for any feature you want. "this" is links with special subfeatures that would be difficult to program into ordinary link syntax.
