Please answer the questions I've asked, and you'll get the response:

IPv6 is end to end, and does not support header insertion or deletion 
en-route to the final destination. It would break core IPv6 components 
such as PMTUD and AH.

If you find that the wording in RFC8200 should be improved, so be it: we 
already have to improve it from RFC2460, and it seems you still trying 
to find ways to circumvent the spec.

If the spec warrants a *clarification*, so be it: we already did it from 
RFC2460, we did it for RFC8200 for the fragmentation part, and we may 
also have to do it for EH processing (and not only for this issue).

I have given it a shot here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5933

That's what erratas are for.

Thanks,
