You might look at how RandR defines known & mandatory properties in its
protocol spec to see if a similar sort of listing makes sense:

If you look through the core protocol you'll see that padding byte is
used for replies that have a byte-sized member that can fit in nicely
there - but many don't, leaving it unused.

http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7-RC1/doc/xproto/x11protocol.html#Encoding::Requests

I don't see any other DRI2 replies with a single byte value to return,
which is probably why it's unused in all the existing ones in that
extension protocol, but you can see some RandR replies do use it.
