I missed your couple of comments above in the prior -21 revision, but 
Michael S. reminded me of them, and I've incorporated them into the -22 
revision just posted.  On the IPv6 comment, I changed the notion of "IP 
options" in a couple of places to "IPv4 options or IPv6 extension 
headers" which I think accomplishes the right thing.
