I think this is a matter what the committee should determine, but in 
general I don't think it is OK to change the existing identifier.

I also think even experimental values should be added to virtio spec at 
an early stage unless such an "experiment" is done only on one laptop. 
We can obsolete a capset anytime so it's more important to avoid 
conflicts of capsets.
