I'm not sure if I'm yet convinced we should allow this to happen in the main
capabilities document, like letting any plugin just dump in vendor specific
stuff.  I'd like to see a parameter to a caps request to add in the extended
data.  But could be convinced that we should support it in the main one.
But since clients are going to have to know how to handle it anyways I don't
see a big loss in making them request it a certain way.

This should be pretty easy, we already have the infrastructure to do this
with our little in memory tile cache, which we use for openlayers tile
return.  So we just need to have that check GeoWebCache too (or instead).  I
asked Andrea about it, I'll try to add a jira for it, should be able to do
it for 1.7.1
