 ### Specification Extensions
 
 While the OpenAPI Specification tries to accommodate most use cases, additional data can be added to extend the specification at certain points.

 For maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED to either define and document an additional escape convention while percent-encoding the delimiters for these styles, or to avoid these styles entirely.
 The exact method of additional encoding/escaping is left to the API designer, and is expected to be performed before serialization and encoding described in this specification, and reversed after this specification's encoding and serialization steps are reversed.
 This keeps it outside of the processes governed by this specification.
