Huh?

If anything, this is simply one Routing Header. The reason for which we 
have a routing header *type* field is so that multiple routing headers 
can be specified.

What potential would this take away???

Give way to new non-ip and IPvx proposals????

Could you please back your statements? -- Because they seem anything but 
technical.

Thanks,
