These go in a direction I like.  (I realize that Steve did not propose 
IExtraData seriously, but I like it...)

I do wish the name clarified that extra data was attachable to the given 
object: this is one aspect of the original name (the "Bag" part) that I 
liked.  IAttachedData and IExtraData (and IMetaData) seem to describe data; 
but an object that implements the interface we are discussing is not *itself* 
attached or extra data in this context, but an object that (presumably in 
addition to its primary duties) contains getters and setters *for* extra data.

brainstorming down this path:

  IDataBag
  IExtraDataBag
  IExtraAttributeHolder
  IExtraObjectBag
  IAlienBag :-)
  IAlienSocket

Whee...getting a little creative.  hee hee, I like IAlienBag.  

I obviously had a hard time moving away from "bag"...but see where I'm trying 
to go with this?
