IN the context of RFC8200, that does not specify any routing header type, what could be in the Destination Address other than the final destination? >> RFC8200 does not even specify any routing header types.

And possibly the text from RFC 8200 is not clear, but this is what we have.

FWIW, the errata does not change the technical meaning, but is provided a clarification.
