I agree completely. Notations are the way to do this.
However, I also think this is a very bad idea. We already have pulled
things out of OpenPGP because they could be used for subliminal
channels, and there are a lot of people who think that DSA is the work
of Satan because it has random data and thus subliminal channels.
However, if someone wishes to add in extra random data, then a notation
is a fine way to do it.
