Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-6man-rfc2460bis-08.txt> (Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification) to Internet Standard

Hi Enno,

For the protocol: given the fundamental role of RFC 2460 I, too, think that 
an implementor must be able to get a clear answer to the question "is EH 
insertion allowed or not?" during its lecture, without going through 600+ 
e-mails in an archive (just to find out that "even the experts didn't agree 
on that, at the time"). So I support Fernando's request of
Either explicitly ban extension header insertion, or explicitly allow it.

+1

Personally I think middleboxes should not insert or remove extensions headers. 
But whatever happens, it should be explicitly stated.

Cheers,
Sander
