Hi, This version is intended to respond to Ray Hunter's comments. There are two important changes:
1. The MUST NOT that Ray mentioned is now SHOULD NOT. Really this is a matter of internal consistency in the document, since the exceptions to the SHOULD NOT are specified, so the MUST NOT was inappropriate. 2. It is now made explicit that only standards-track extension headers are covered. That knocks out HIP, which is Experimental. There are a few other changes of editorial nature.

This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. Title : Transmission of IPv6 Extension Headers Author(s) : Brian Carpenter Sheng Jiang Filename : draft-ietf-6man-ext-transmit-01.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2013-05-29 Abstract: Various IPv6 extension headers have been standardised since the IPv6 standard was first published. This document updates RFC 2460 to clarify how intermediate nodes should deal with such extension headers and with any that are defined in future. It also specifies how extension headers should be registered by IANA, with a corresponding minor update to RFC 2780.
