It would seems to me that more is needed. For instance, for RHT0 you had
to swap the address in the Destination Address with  with the next
segment in the RHT0 payload.

So I guess the text should look something like:

    A Routing Header is not inserted, or deleted by any node along a
    packet's delivery path, until the packet reaches the final
    destination node (or each of the set of final destination nodes, in
    the case of multicast). A Routing Header is not processed by any
    node along a packet's delivery path, until the packet reaches the
    destination node (or each of the set of destination nodes, in the
    case of multicast) identified by the Destination Address field of
    the IPv6 header.

?

I wonder if it might be better to keep the insertion/deletion part in a
single place, to avoid repetiton, and then just discuss processing, but
not insertion/deletion.  -- Or whether repetition is needed for each of
the "special" EHs, such that folk do not assume that the comments on
insertion/deletion do not applyto the "special" EHs.

Thoughts?
