Title : An uniform format for IPv6 extension headers

In IPv6, optional internet-layer information is encoded in separate
headers that may be placed between the IPv6 header and the transport
layer header. There are a small number of such extension headers
currently defined. This document defines a format for defining new
IPv6 extension headers.
I notice that Section 4 calls for TLV:
]
] 4. Proposed IPv6 Extension Header format
]
] This document proposes that all IPv6 extension headers be encoded in
] a consistent TLV format so that it is possible for nodes to skip over
] unknown extension headers and continue to further process the header
] chain.
But I don't see the equivalent of Section 4.2 of RFC 2460, specifying
the TLV format.
The T is the "Next Header", the L is the "Hdr Ext Len" and V is the
"Header Specific Data" as specified in the figure in Section 4 of the draft.
Thanks
Suresh
