Frankly Eli, I cannot urge you enough to just forget about this idea, as
swiftly as possible, for your own good (and ours).

There is the ssh case I mentionned and also, if you go through the WCAG
and all the principles of the Internet, sane communication is based on
agreements on what is exchanged which do not try to depend on which
software is on the other side.

Did you once see one RFC specifying what theprotocol should be depending
on which client or server one is talking to?
