Isn't the proper location for this: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-parameters/ipv6-parameters.xml Though that just points to: http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xml as those are all the protocol numbers. The "problem" with that list is that it is not noted explicitly as being a Extension Header, thus IMHO it would be best if IANA could add a flag or so to indicate that a certain protocol number is explicitly used as a IPv6 Extension Header.
