I have not sat down to read the code to understand what it actually does, so
I can't really comment at this point. I salute you for having gotten into
whether the code is compliant.
But, I did write spend way too much of my life writing
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9008/
to deal with the perception that RPL networks had to violate 8200.
I know that Linux does not (yet) deal with all the minutia in 9008.
I wish that I had time to fix that.
