From Gen-ART review by Mark Allman:

  + Section 1: "mainly target user-level" --> "mainly targets
    user-level"

  + Section 1: While the document is fine without specifying error
    handling it might be nice to add a note that this is not good
    practice.

  + Section 1: "deployed among implementations, it" --> "deployed, it"

  In section 7: s/man in the middle/man-in-the-middle/

  Reference [1] contains two dates.  I believe the second one should
  be deleted.

  Section 11 should be deleted prior to publication.

The document says:

Behavior of legacy IPv6 socket applications:

   Applications, whether or not they implement this specification, that 
   use the Advanced API mechanisms to receive Destination options or 
   Routing headers, need to ignore or otherwise properly handle the Home
   Address destination option and the type 2 routing headers according
   to this API specifications.


I found this pretty hard to parse.  I would suggest re-phrasing it.  Does "Legacy applications using
the Advanced API mechanisms to receive Destination options or Routing headers will ignore
the Home Address destination option and the type 2 routing headers specified here." capture
the intent?
