	do we have such document/consideration (packet processing at
	intermediate nodes, like firewalls) in base IPv4 specification?
	as far as I know, no.  therefore, i guess we should try to "clarify"
	it outside of base IPv6 spec, if we are to do it.  it is not IPv6
	base spec's fault that it does not cover behavior of firewalls.
