In your previous mail you wrote:
A quick question then:
How would you handle the cases where a Routing Header is to be processed?
=> I don't understand your argument. A routing header is to be processed
only if the destination address (in the IPv6 header, the router can't do
something without looking at it :-) is one of the router addresses.
On a side note: typically, how many addresses would reside in the Routing
Header?
=> one but you can have more or less:
- one if it is for mobile IPv6 routing optimization
- zero if it is in order to crash your friend implementation (:-)
- some if it is for another usage (some kind of policy routing,
in this case some addresses will be subnet anycasts).
The maximal number is 127 addresses but should have the same effect than zero!

PS: your argument is valid for a firewall: inspection should be implemented
by a loop.
