I'd rather not add further features to EAPI 6, otherwise it'll never
be finished. I don't see items 1 and 2 as essential features. In
addition, comments on the bugs for item 1 seem to indicate that it
will break some packages.

Concerning item 2, dohtml already has a -A option that allows adding
further extensions to the list. It doesn't have any option for their
removal, so I've mixed feelings about adding further extensions as
default.

Item 3 would be important enough to add it. OTOH, it still is in the
flow; your comment #14 was posted to the bug only today (!). There are
at least two previous examples where we have had bad experience with
such last-minute changes.
