To Customize or Not to Customize for OpenSocial

I'm having a dilemma...  an OpenSocial host should conform to a standard set of data (title, id, updated), but there's nothing saying they won't add additional data (site specific, biz card) through added namespaces.  From a wrapper point of view I don't know if there will be custom data or not, yet certainly an implementation of the wrapper may want some of this custom data.  Do I only concern my efforts with the minimum, standard data, or would it be better to have custom types containing the custom data?  If custom types is the right answer (or preferred answer) do we simply support the big names (MySpace, Orkut, Ecademy, etc)?

At the moment I'm only worrying about basic data.  I'm probably getting ahead of myself as OpenSocial data APIs aren't even released yet.  If you have any feedback on this idea please let me know!
