I thought that's what we were intending (assuming draft-ietf-6man-ext-transmit goes smoothly) -- but I realize we missed the procedural piece of making sure of the correct sequence of publication. So I guess possible paths are: 1) Changing the above paragraph to something along the lines of: Extension Headers are defined in Section 4 of [RFC2460]. As a result of [draft-ietf-6man-ext-transmit], [IANA-PROTO] provides a list of assigned Internet Protocol Numbers and designates which of those protocol numbers also represent extension headers. (or something along these lines... please suggest alternative phrasing if deemed appropriate) 2) Change the above paragraph to: Extension Headers are defined in Section 4 of [RFC2460], and various extension headers have been specified in [RFC2460] itself and in other later documents. (which IMO would still be fine, since we don't really need to provide the full list here) Thoughts? Thanks!
