If we want to be slightly more backwards compatible, the Newchannel event would need an additional/redundant Exten header, but I'd prefer to change it and document that it was changed.

Asterisk has historically used exten when it is referring to context/exten/priority.  I seem to recall that exten is a lot in the dialplan. :)
