	All the details aren't in a spec yet, but the binary protocol is  
extensible.  There's a single byte for commands, and this is a  
natural place to provide extensions.

	There were a couple of interesting multi-invalidation options  
briefly discussed.  We should figure out which one makes the most  
sense in a different thread.  Choosing how to express it within each  
protocol is the easy part.  :)
