More than that, it's creating an opportunity for operators to bypass IETF 
standards as well as IANA.

Isn't that the essence of this whole discussion?

They can do it anyway, but defining the code point at least makes it possible 
for firewalls to discard such traffic if it escapes. Hence my comment about 
draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-eh-filtering.
