Ah, I see. In principle that's fine, but in practice I suspect it's
easier for you to edit the content on your own site. OTOH if people
are happy to maintain the content via WebDAV then I'm happy to host
extensions at http://lv2plugin.in/extension/foo or similar.

There should definitely be links to the extensions from the spec site
either way.
