Hi Jeremy,

Pretty sure all extension headers are considered payload of the IPv6 header.
Check out RFC 2460. It says ESP and AH are there..
As you stated above RFC2460 does talk about the AH and ESP, but the AH
spec itself contains the following text.
"In the IPv6 context, AH is viewed as an end-to-end payload, and thus
should appear after hop-by-hop, routing, and fragmentation extension
headers."
I do not have any strong opinions on whether to include AH and ESP in
the Backward compatibility section. I can change the text to add AH and
ESP if there is working group consensus to do so.
Thanks
Suresh
