 what if... (and you probably know what I'm going to say...)

we publish these features on nostr.

Say for example I add "pin-note" support to nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x  

I publish a new event kind tagging my NIP-89 entry of Highlighter. Thus I signal that Highlighter supports that feature.

That way, say for example I later add "mute-list" support; I could just publish the event.

There is NO WAY someone, not even nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 , will be able to keep up with all the clients and all the features we are all constantly pushing.

But we can push it to the edges, me as a developer, it is basically no extra work to publish an event indicating the new feature when I cut a new version.
