	the packet will be addressed to the NODE (ip6_dst == one of the
	NODE's addresses) if the node is an intermediate hop of the routing
	header type 0.

	we (KAME) have checked with Steve Deering 1000 times, and he is sure
	he wants it to be handled ("forwarded" in your terminlogy) by HOSTS
	as well as ROUTERS - that means "NODES".

	didn't you check my message on Apr27?
