There are many instances where a relay is embedded in a bigger device (e.g., the Think Kink PBA, collars, and the Cool HUD). These devices often need additional listeners, and might even need listeners for short periods of time to listen to some external object. Of course, it would be simple for the devices to always listen on the specified channel, but that would add to lag which is a big enough problem as it is. The goal here is to allow the device to use the relay channel (to which the person should ''always'' be listening) to open up the additional listener as needed, cutting down on overall lag as the second listener is only open as needed.
The relay should answer, in the acknowledgement field by the list of supported x-tensions, separated by slashes "/", followed by the version of the specification of the extension which is implemented (after a vertical bar "|"). Note that only the x-tension names are given, not the full list of meta-commands (email extension has 3 meta-commands, for instance). Note that extension names do not contain the "!x-".
 
It should be the responsibility of the bigger device and not the relay to shut the channel down.

The relay should answer, in the acknowledgement field by the list of supported x-tensions, separated by slashes "/", followed by the version of the specification of the extension which is implemented (after a vertical bar "|"). Note that only the x-tension names are given, not the full list of meta-commands (email extension has 3 meta-commands, for instance). Note that extension names do not contain the "!x-".
