Of course.  You cannot expect the rest of the community to show any interest or
actively
discuss extensions to the standards which are only relevant in some obscure
chess variants
which only you, I, and a handful of other eccentric lunatics would ever want to
play.  When
we actively choose no longer to be part of the established community, it is
evident that
nobody cares what we do any more.

But precisely because nobody cares, we are also free to do whatever we want.  If
you (or I)
are not satisfied with the protocols, there is no reason to make any proposals
or to try
to start a discussion.  We can just go ahead and extend the protocol in whatever
direction
we want (like I do for hexagonal chess), or design our own.  Nobody is ever
going to
complain.
