If dxb is correct in his reasoning (which seems logical), it sounds like the further v. farther debate to me:
Farther is used when describing distance (as in far, farther), and
Further is used when describing time.
Likewise it would seem extensible deals with something tangible and extendable does not (in its true meaning anyway; I've heard things like "extendable umbrella" and whatnot quite often).
