There was a BIP by Stefan Thomas for adding custom services to the
protocol. Discovery would be helpful here too. If this was added, it
wouldn't be intended for use in a hostile way though.

This one was the custom services BIP. It defines a change to the version

This one discusses how network discovery should be handles.
