Conditional on this not causing a lot of list drama, I don't mind this adding this. However, keep in mind that, the work here is already unavoidably extensible to what you're trying to do. If it can bind a TBSCertificate and the TBSCertificate is constructed by the log operator, it can be extended. It's just how X.509 non-critical extensions work.
And, of course, there is an inherent extension point here: the things the RP trusts. You can always make a new CAs that implement different signature algorithms, etc. Indeed that's the very extension point we're looking to use here. The lack of extension point has never been the limiting factor here.
