No.

I mean, there are spare header bits, but the marshalling can't change. The 
best you can do is set a bit and transport one ARRAY of BYTE, then let the 
other side decide how (or if) to decode it.

Which you can do today already and agree on this extra decoding by setting an 
annotation in the XML.
