When creating extension with forge, there is several levels where code can be put. Is there any rule what is the right place to put it? Extension.value[x] or Extension.value[x].id. If for example there would be int as a value of extension. I would like to tell in a code elemet that in value in the value element tells a size of a hat. I assume that Extension.value[x] would be the right "level" to put the specifying code?

What is your objective for having a 'code'? Just to indicate the meaning of the extension according to some external terminology?

Exactly. Code would be indicating the meaning of the extension.

What is the general opinion? If there is some suitable code available to indicate meaning of extension. Should it be used?

You certainly can, but it's not commonly done.
