Looks good. Three small points:

> 5.3.  Protecting a node from excessive EH options
...
> A host MAY disallow unknown options in destination options or hob-by-	
> hop options.  This should be configurable where the default is to	
> accept unknown options and process them per RFC2460.  If a packet

> disallow them, then the packet should be silently discarded.

Not sure why this still refers to 2460.

> 5.9.  Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes - RFC 4191

I suggest that the last phrase should clarify that "Type C" is defined
in RFC 4191, because as written that is not obvious.

Are we sure that draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6rtr-reqs is an Informative reference?
