I can tell you that, having worked on Caller ID for more than a year and
a half, and having had it basically stable since a year ago, I
continually and routinely keep coming across valuable new things that
people will want to say about these sorts of policies. 

If you want examples, take a look at the attributes we have on the
Caller ID <m> element to today. Or think about what one might wish to
say about ones willingness or desire to participate in forensics
gathering to support prosecution of spammers. And so on.

I'm quite convinced that this sort of innovation will only pick up, once
this stuff is used more heavily.

The ones that we can think of before we spec-freeze we can build in. The
other ones need a robust extensibility mechanism for.

  Has there been a demonstrated need for that extensibility?
