   No problem ;)
   
   I think it would be good in general to have some place to list known "community" extension types (in addition to the official "canonical" extension types). I would be fine with listing them on the same page, if we make the distinction clear?
   
   And indeed it would be good to then include the GeoArrow ones in such a list. 
   
   As Dewey mentioned, one reason that the GeoArrow ones are not canonical extension types is just that this concept didn't yet exist at the time we started with geoarrow. And that we also didn't do the effort to make them canonical. I am not fully sure if it would be better to do that (already). I think we probably want to stabilize them a bit more (and finish the memory layout discussions). It's also not clear to me if we can keep the spec in a separate repo/github org if we would make it part of the arrow (apache) governance.
