Some extensions are advertised by servers but enabled by clients, RFC6855 
is an example. Your proposal is like 6855 in that if a server were to use 
it unilaterally, a strictly parsing client would see a syntax error.

The conventional way is to use a command such as "ENABLE CPIM" to enable 
the extra bodystructure processing in the server, where CPIM is the name of 
the IMAP capability.
