It seems like an extension that would not be sensible at all.  Type 2 TRs 
are for experimental features and should be considered as "if you want to 
do this, it would be a good idea to do it this way; you might find issues 
through implementation experience which lead to the TR being improved and 
the subject matter eventually becoming less experimental".  So given 
there's a DTR on this subject, if you want to implement address spaces you 
should follow the TR and so assist future standardisation rather than 
implementing some random other extension to do the same thing.  We 
shouldn't go implementing our own new extension to do something there's a 
standard way to do.
