As it happens, I'd been recently thinking[1] about a way that certain
SQL/XML functionality could be provided by a pluggable selection of
different extensions.

And I think a use case like that could be rather elegantly served by
the OID mapping idea, more so than by a fixed-OID-range-per-extension
approach.

So +1.
