I read through the draft and I am generally supportive of the sentiment
behind the draft. But the draft itself is not at all clear on what
constitutes a "entire IPv6 header chain". Without this, I think the
draft in its current form is not actionable. I would like a crisper
definition of what exactly is the expected behavior on sending,
receiving and intermediate nodes

Thanks
Suresh
