| 1. Can we make the assumption that the IPv6 option header numbers and the
| protocol numbers are aligned (meaning there is no and there will be no
| overlap) and use the very same trick?
No trick... those numbers are assigned from the same number space,
so yes, you can make that assumption.
If you like, think of TCP/UDP/... as being just other IPv6 extension
headers (except ignorant ones that don't have a next header field...)
| 2. The same question for IPv4, specifically since IPSEC uses option header
| too.
Same number space, IPv4 & IPv6 share that one. So, same answer.
