I am mostly interested in extension- and fragment header, and combinations 
of these. The others you're right about, they probably won't work well 
anyhow.

But extension nnd fragment headers have real legitimate use and we should 
try to assure that these work properly on the wider Internet. If someone 
at the edge decides they don't want these then that's fine, but if there 
are routers out there that by default treat these badly, I think it's good 
if everybody knows this.
