compressed headers spanning multiple RFC4944 fragments presents

My first reaction would be "don't do that, then!".

I don't think that 4944 specifies anything that lets you have the
compressed header extend beyond the first frame.
I'm not sure we explicitly discussed this, but certainly I didn't
see a need.
If we now do, I'd like to first learn more about this use case.
I'm not convinced of this use case either and I'm fine with limiting
use of IPHC/NHC to the first fragment.
Richard's future-compatibility case that he spawned this thread with
is more important to consider.
