SEP-41: permit additional event topics

[leighmcculloch]

What

Clarify that SEP-41 token implementers may emit additional topics beyond those defined, and recommend that any such extension be standardized in its own SEP for interoperability.

Why

The spec was silent on whether implementers could extend events with extra topics, leaving consumers uncertain about what to expect and discouraging interoperable extensions. Whilst I always took this to be an assumption in the ecosystem for any contract SEP, it's become apparent in conversations that was not their assumption. SEP-41 is an important enough standard this should be documented explicitly.

Note that this is not changed behaviour, but rather capturing existing behaviour already playing out in the ecosystem.

Discussion

• Formalize event topic extensions behavior in SEP-41 documentation #1995
