After giving this one some thought, I'd say that my take is that the best option is to produce a 6man document that specifies the default processing of options, such that we complement RFC7045 (which does that for IPv6 extension headers). -- this had been suggested by Brian Carpenter already. After all, advice of the kind "Drop this packet if it contains two Router Alert options is really a default setting, rather than something an operator would configure". In the worst case scenario (if the 6man document doesn't fly there, we may incorporate such defaults in this document). Thoughts? Thanks!
