I don't think that would work... but feel free to suggest that during the
WGLC for the document :-)

I suggest that we should get the rules as they are past IESG, and then if we
want to do better that we can do that.

Aside from 0x63->0x23, there are no other flag days that I forsee.

If one decides to insert/remove headers at the DODAG root, then I think
that this is a unilateral decision.   If one has a network that is intolerant
of the 0x63 RPI option, and updating the LLN is not feasible, then either
fixing that in the DODAG root or removing the header at the DODAG seems like
something a product might just do.
