For the benefit of those who find it inconvenient to dig into the 6man WG email archives, I've pasted the relevant part of that ancient email below.

Please let me know of any errors or omissions. Steve [ … ] =================================== The following suggestions in Charlie Lynn's formal response to the Last Call were rejected at the Stockholm meeting: - Add a bit to the Routing Header indicating whether or not it was inserted into the packet en-route, i.e., by a node other than the packet's originator. reasons for rejection: insertion of extension headers en-route breaks PMTU-discovery and can result in ICMP error messages being sent to non-guilty parties. The desired effect can be achieved, and those problems avoided, by using en-route encapsulation (with optional Routing Header) rather than header insertion. [ … ]
