RH0: disable by default draft (fwd)

[Pekka Savola]

FYI.

I think it's best to discuss the drafts in a single mailing list 
without crossposting.  I suggest the IPv6 WG list <ipv6 at ietf.org>.

Subject: RH0: disable by default draft

Hi,

We (me and George Neville-Neil) haveve just submitted an I-D on type 0 routing 
header processing.  In the meantime, it's available here:

http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/ietf/draft-savola-ipv6-rtheader-00.txt

Its approach is "disable by default, but type 0 routing header is still a part 
of a compliant IPv6 implementation".  It identifies other potential approaches 
as well as well as lists some open issues.

Joe's draft suggests deprecating type 0, so these are somewhat different 
starting points.  Both seemed to gain significant support in the WG, so I don't 
think it's necessarily a bad idea to have two drafts.  That way the WG can 
probably choose better which approach to pursue.

[[ Personally I don't have a strong opinion whether we should disable or 
deprecate.  Any rough consensus works for me.. ]]
