- Now if you “extend” twtxt “a little”, how can you do that without losing full compatibility with other clients? Please elaborate.

Because we haven't extended the twtxt.txt spec/format in any way that would break other clients :D

Here's a short list of what we've done:

- Added discovery of external feeds' Avatar by looking for /avatar.png (or similar) at te root of where you host your twtxt.txt
- Added the convention of a Twt Subject. e.g: You reply with: @foo @bar @baz (that thing) ...

We at twtxt.net (and other pods) take advantage of this convention to group Twts together into "Conversations" If you go create an account (even just to experience what it's like...) you'll see what I mean :D

Open to criticisms of course! But let's be constructive eh? :)
