Another view of the new Fox 40 shows what appear to be bleed valves for excess pressure. But this view also reveals a new truss structure to the brake arch--not a huge surprise on the revised truss, as that was a key point shown at their 2013 product launch immediately prior to Sea Otter back in April

 I'm willing to bet those bosses are for a fender or mud flap of some sort look on the back of the crown there is 2 little drilled silver holes in line with them. Custom fit carbon fender kinda like the v10's?

 there are already mud flaps and they are attached to the lower crown, not the legs of the fork...
i think is something related to air pressure... or something to lubrify the seals like old manitou's -> www.enduroforkseals.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ssgngun1.jpg

 Possibly it looks like it could be a grease injection port

 That new arch is even more of a debris catcher.

 Look at those 2 little holes... Instead of applying a sticker to prevent stoking mud, I'm pretty sure they worked something like a plastic guard or something...

 I think they're designed to bleed off the extra air pressure that gets generated after a run, when the air inside the main chamber heats up and expands. Marzocchi did the same thing years ago on the Shiver fork.
