Does anyone ever try to send extended structures that are the same at
the beginning but have extra information at the end?  It would be a
somewhat weird form of compatibility code but it would depend on only
checking the min length.

Otherwise, I don't have particularly strong feelings.  Would it
actually simplify things all that much though?
