Fernando,

Pete asked me to summarize the objections to option 1 - banning header 
insertion explicitly.
I responded with the set of objections I've heard for all options, as I 
couldn't see a straightforward way of only summarising for option 1.

I don't understand your message.
Do you disagree with the summary itself? Are there arguments missing?
Or is your grief that the I have distilled the arguments wrongly or put 
them in a bad light?

Or are you just rehashing your position on the issue?

I think that some points are not as clear as they should be:

1) The current state of affairs with respect to IPv6 EH insertion is
that insertion is forbidden. It has always been clear to everyone.

I don't think it has. In fact, that's the whole point: some people
have *not* deduced that rule from the RFC2460/RFC1883 wording.

"It has always been clear.... till these proposals on EH insertion arised".

Since some people didn't "deduce" it from the current text, that's a
clear indication that a clarification is warranted.

Thanks,
