Re: [core] RFC 8768 on Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) Hop-Limit Option

Thank you Carsten and the core WG for helping to get this through. 

There was a point raised during the publication of this RFC: HTTP option encapsulating CoAP ones. I hope that someone can take that work. 

Cheers,
Med
