This example seems too specific to incorporate the extension into the
document at this late stage. Also, I don't get why the next header is
so special. If we added this, then other implementors would want
filtering based on inner flowlabel, inner hop limit, inner source or
destination addresses, inner extension headers...
So...sorry, but I don't think we can add the feature to rfc2292bis.
