Pascal,

Hold on a second.  First of all, not everyone doing IPv6 in LLNs
is using RPL.  Second of all, not everyone using RPL in LLNs is
particularly hindered by the overhead of using RFC 6553.  And finally,
Carsten's suggested 6lo encoding of the RPL Option arguably has
better properties than using the flow label and is definitely not
"dramatically" worse.

Personally, I think using the flow label in this way is a very bad
idea.  The games that are played within an LLN to make IPv6 work there
need to be invisible to the rest of the Internet.  Universal rules
are what its all about.
