In your previous mail you wrote: any implementation (hardware or software) that extracts the 5-tuple has to follow the linked list to the end. => and in a rare case ports are not in the first fragment...
Or we can strongly recommend that all hosts set the flow label, so that we can use the 3-tuple {source address, dest address, flow label}. => the flow label was designed for it, wasn't it? And I can't see a problem with recommending to set the flow label to get a "better" QoS. BTW this simplifies fragment classifying too.
