    I'd like to ask for a deadline extension for two specific proposals we'd 
    like to get in, but where we won't quite make the deadline. Both 
    proposals are graphics related:
    
    One, we'd like to propose shapes for media content (video, audio, 
    streaming of same). This is currently somewhat covered by embedding 
    binary objects, but there the content respectively plugin-IDs are 
    platform or application specific. For the common use case of video/audio 
    content, the media shapes would improve on this by clearly labeling 
    media content as such, in an platform/application independent manner.
    
    The other, somewhat more complex proposal would be custom shapes. These 
    are shapes with variables, so that the user can easily modify the shape 
    in a certains ways. This mainly adds opportunities for authoring tools, 
    in that the actual graphics can already be represented in the current 
    format, but with paramterised shapes a user can easily modify such a 
    shape (beyond just scaling it).
    
    Sincerely,
    Daniel
