To clarify my question, it only relates to if SCHC should be added to the IPv6
Extension Header Types registry. I continue to think that adding it to the IP
Protocol Number registry is fine.
I believe the answer should be the same as for 142 (RFC 5858), which is not in
the list.
I couldn’t find out quickly what an IPv6 Extension Header Type is(*), so maybe
that is an oversight for 142.
From my limited understanding and which Protocols are listed as
Extension Header Types and which not (other than 142), it is a Protocol
that transports other Protocols.
Though with that definition, I wonder how HIP got in the list.
It is fun to open a can of worms!

(*) An IP protocol number, apparently.
But what specifically does it make an IPv6 Extension Header Type as well?
The references given in the registry don’t seem to say.
