That is what I do, James.  ip-up.lcaol but for each server I have to change
it.  I know openvpn will set the routes for you.  Maybe the windows thing
just did a default route?

Is there a protocol specification for how this is achieved?

Not to my knowledge.  It would imply a communication of routing policy
over the PPP link, and some way to know if it is trusted.

A common way to achieve this is to use /etc/ppp/ip-up.d scripts on the
client side that recognise the tunnel in some way.
