If so, then I would vote for having just an addendum, and making the frames legal in v2.3 and 2.4.

I've tried files tagged with Chapter Frames carried in version 2.3 tags with a number of media players running on Windows. 

The following played the files without problems and could decode the standard tags:
  QuickTime 
  VLC
  iTunes

However, although Windows Media Player 6.4 played the file it appeared unable to read any information from the tag when the Chapter Frames were present.

It looks like a new version of the standard would probably be the safest option but I'm concerned this might discourage support for Chapter Frames.
