At this point all constrained networks are purpose-built, usually for a
single application. (This is not how many thought it would work, if you go
back to 2007ish...)
As I understand SCHC, the Rules are not dynamic, and so a network built using
this method would be provisioned correctly.

I'm guessing that this overhead is in the RH3, and that in the absense of
SCHC, that we'd still have to spend that overhead?

This feels like some kind of new optimized source routing mechanism?

I don't object to multiple methods in theory, if there is a way to clearly
articulate (at build time), which one will be used. But it would be better
for mindshare and debugging, and code maintenance to have fewer methods.
