This would mean that kuiserver's extender would be different to 
systray's thus negating the purpose of integrating the two.

I hadn't considered this.

This is definitely a possibility, but I'm not sure it's really possible 
to accomplish by October 19th. Assuming that the icon would show/hide 
the extender, there are issues such as the interaction between the 
kuiserver hide/show and knotify notifications, or how an icon adding 
through the Task protocol can even get access to the extender.

Given that the systray is a fairly core piece of the workspace, I'd 
really prefer to spend the alpha/beta stage ironing out any regressions 
from 4.1 rather than forcing in changes that weren't designed for...
