I see in Section 2.1 of this draft the definition of an enhanced Hop-by-Hop
Options Header.

Since its format and function are identical with that of the existing
Hop-by-Hop Options Header, I fail to see what it could possibly accomplish.

Moreover, it is in direct contradiction with the following directive in
Section 2.8 of RFC 8200:

   Note: New extension headers that require hop-by-hop behavior must not
   be defined because, as specified in Section 4
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8200#section-4> of this document, the
   only extension header that has hop-by-hop behavior is the Hop-by-Hop
   Options header.
