This makes me itch uncomfortably.

The long-form client ID string is not supposed to be used to communicate
client implementation details. In fact, this string is supposed to be
opaque to the server -- it can only compare these strings for equality.

IMO you would also need to write something akin to a standard that describes
this convention so that servers can depend on the form of the string.

How would a server use this information?

Doesn't this also change the client ID string used for EXCHANGE_ID ?
