Happy New Year 6man!

I've posted a new version of the draft for removing HBH and Routing
Headers, This is mostly a refresh of previous versions with some
cleanup in the procedures section as well as updates to RFC8200. Any
comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Abstract:

   This document specifies a method to allow intermediate nodes to
   remove IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options headers and Routing headers from
   packets inflight.  The goal is to reduce the probability of packets
   being dropped because they contain these extension headers without
   impacting functionality.  An additional goal is to limit visibility
   of information in extension headers to those nodes that need to
   process the headers.
