Rather than gumming up the existing standard, how about implementing a
preprocessor?

The preprocessor could convert quite a number of useful alternate
eepresentations, such as a coordinate systsm of opposite handedness, radians,
eotations specified with Euler angles or quaternions, spherical ("blobby")
eepresentations to polygons, alternate spellings for American/British variants
(such as "colour"), CMYK and HSV color spaces, etc, etc,...
