Right I had quoted the 8200 processing order so I'm using that as a guide.

This is what I'm getting at though, if there is an SRH you will enter section
4.1 prior to 4.1.1, and if you are in 4.1 there is no processing path that
leads to the upper-layer header. So AFAICT the only way to get to section 4.1.1
is if the FIB entry is a local END SID and there is no SRH.
Thanks,
Chris.
