| Hi, Fred (et al.),
It might be useful to be clear whether this option MUST NOT be used on atomic datagrams (i.e., where IPv4 DF==1 or when not source fragmented) and that it cannot be used for purposes other than reassembly (as the regular ID is per RFC 6484).

Title : Identification Extension Options for the Internet Protocol
Author : Fred L. Templin
Filename : draft-templin-intarea-ipid-ext-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2023-07-28
Abstract:
The Internet Protocol, version 4 (IPv4) header includes a 16 bit
Identification field in all packets, but this length is too small to
ensure reassembly integrity even at moderate data rates in modern
networks. Even for Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6), the 32 bit
Identification field may be smaller than desired for some intended
uses. This document addresses these limitations by defining both an
Identification Extension option for IPv4 and a corresponding
Destination Option for IPv6.
