Yeah, here comes the interesting question again. On one hand, our code
will not take these structures allocated by the users; it will always
return structures it allocated. OTOH, you can always write code that
breaks by this change if you really want to. I think it is OK to extend
this sturcutre, but we should add a note that this might happen in the
future.

It definitely needs to be XML-escaped. Whether it should be recoded from
the locale encoding is another topic - and should be a separate change
IMO. Oh, and it needs base4 encoding as well, or filtering so that invalid
XML chars don't come through.

Exta elements in the tuples are ignored by both server and client. But it
should be tested to make sure, of course.

BUT, will the new client handle an old server? I'd say no, since the
client will expect an extra element (?c). So you need to have an question
mark before the left paren as well: "r(?c)(?c)?(?c)". Noe that you ned the
parens to support further extensibility.
