Hello, Eric,

Here's the proof part:

1) Isn't IPv6 end to end?

2) How do core components of IPv6, such as AH and PMTUD work in the 
present of intermediate nodes that can add and/or remove arbitrary 
extension headers?

It should be clear from the above that EH insertion/deletion is forbidden.

Since this topic has been brought up again and again, I have submitted 
an errata to RFC8200 which clarifies the intended behaviour:
* https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5933

(that's what Errata's are for, after all... and it should be clear that 
the EH processing part, overall, needs improvements).

Thanks!

Cheers,
