Let's get real. Users *will* mix and match RFC7084, RFC6204 and neither-of-
the-above IPv6 routers with HNCP-capable routers. If we can't deal with
routers that are blind to HNCP in a reasonable way, those users will
be unhappy. Indeed, the first stage is for HNCP routers to discover
the existence of HNCP-blind routers.
