I didn't mean to imply that the extra space would exclusively mean
"DVD Extras" - I was talking more generically - an extra episode, an extra
commentary - you know "more stuff" for whatever value you wish to assign to
"stuff".

Yes, I remember those too. I had a few CDs which wouldn't fully play on
my friend's old DVD player for that exact reason.
As for the new format, I fully expect it won't be long before someone
creates a disc that really pushes the specs in some way or another. I
think it's just human nature. After all, have you ever had a hard drive
that was "too big"?
