Echoing an internal discussion about this series:
"... 
That is very good that there will be a support of the extension registers of SD spec .   It may allow existing and future features to be very easily supported by hosts (like existing power off control and future TCG/RPMB related spec which is currently under definition and is going to use those registers as well..).
..."
