In Plus! there are no features which explicitly depend on such a thing.
Custom sounds, text format, nickname formatting and surely some others cause that non-Plus users see a lot of weird things.
But they all don't explicitly need a auto-detect feature to work... The other user will still see the information sent.
(this isn't like if you send a wink for example; the other user explicitly need messenger 7 to be able to see the wink)

I didn't talk about protcol reverse-tricking. I said adding certain strings to the first sent message (like for example a transparent smilie with the code (!MP352)) or to the first chat-nickname sent saying hey! I've got this plus version. This is a legal use of the protocol (like using the formatting characters or sending the soundID) that is nearly transparent at human level.
I understand, but this requires the use of the protocol (if you don't want the global screenname to be changed, but only the "chat-only-name" like StuffPlug-NG does).

This is completely understandable, there is no real need for that.
This was just a prequation statement for suggestions like "send information (like plusversion or something) directly to the user then"
