@marten-seemann Maybe I should have been more specific. The remaining vectors that are prone to ossification are:
* non-invariant bits of the first octet
* the restrictions on how CIDL is used in v1
* the Token Length field (the position is dependent on the values of CIDL fields)
* the Length field (the position is dependent on the values of CIDL fields and the Token Length field)

For example, I would not be surprised to see a middlebox checking that the Token Length field contains a reasonable value regardless of the value of the version number field.
