Hello Hagen,

we are probably hijacking the thread little bit, but I support your 
draft. Minor correction though:

sec 1, 2nd paragraph

One exception is is the hop-by-hop -> One exception is the hop-by-hop

I am not sure if you can request IANA for specific range (someone else 
might want the same numbers at the same time). Maybe, it will be safer 
if you request 8 consecutive protocol numbers and rephrase IANA 
Considerations to something like:

This document includes a request to IANA.  The editors of this draft 
request the 8 consecutive protocol numbers IP6_EXTHDR_RESERVED_MIN till 
IP6_EXTHDR_RESERVED_MAX be reserved for uniform formated IPv6 extension 
header.

Additionally, replace numerical constants in the text with these names.

Best wishes,

Libor
