   Bottom line _proposal_:
   
   Mandatory placements:
           - Home Address option between Routing and Fragment Headers
           - Binding Update after ESP.
   
=> I agree, home address and tunnel encapsulation limit between routing
and fragment, all other destination options (binding XXX) after ESP.

   Comments?
   
=> this makes three placements for a destination option header, two
were already too many. The whole destination option header concept
should be redone, for instance my proposal is:
 - kill the placement between hop-by-hop and routing headers
   (not used, just make implementations more complex)
 - keep the placement between routing and fragment headers for type 60
 - get a new type from IANA for placement after ESP (IPCOMP in fact)
This will give in the future simplest/cleanest implementations, the price
is incompatibility for mobile IPv6 implementations (which should be
incompatible in some cases with any proposal :-).

Thanks
