Hi,

We (me and George Neville-Neil) haveve just submitted an I-D on type 0 
routing header processing.  In the meantime, it's available here:

http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/ietf/draft-savola-ipv6-rtheader-00.txt

Its approach is "disable by default, but type 0 routing header is 
still a part of a compliant IPv6 implementation".  It identifies other 
potential approaches as well as well as lists some open issues.

Joe's draft suggests deprecating type 0, so these are somewhat 
different starting points.  Both seemed to gain significant support in 
the WG, so I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to have two 
drafts.  That way the WG can probably choose better which approach to 
pursue.

[[ Personally I don't have a strong opinion whether we should disable 
or deprecate.  Any rough consensus works for me.. ]]
