I guess the desired behavior would be: A host sends out a message to its RPL router. The router adds RPL SRH or RPL option to the IPv6 header and forwards the message further. No need for IP-in-IP tunneling. Any error message comes back to the router and the router handles the message. The host just sends and receives messages.

I just want the RPL routers to consider the hosts as part of the RPL instance so that the RPL router does not have to do IP-in-IP tunneling to forward packets generated by a host.

I would like to see host-only devices not need to know anything about RPL. Here is why: 1) Code savings. Removing RPL from these host only devices would allow for deployment on smaller footprint devices 2) Battery operated devices. Some host only devices are deployed on non-mains powered devices. It would be nice for these devices to not have to listen for any RPL control messages yet still support transmission into a RPL routing domain.
