so the appendix was using normative terminology which was a bit strange. 
As a quick fix, I thought about moving this appendix to the body, but 
after reading this extension (that was inherited as a legacy from the 
earlier specification) I decided to remove it. The section basically 
suggested allowing source routing via HIP relay for the sake of 
compatibility with RVS servers. I think this could be exploited in a bad 
way to DoS other hosts. I think it is more secure if the HIP relay only 
forwards inbound packets, not outbound. If you disagree with this 
change, please discuss on the list.
