A New Spec of Type field:
Bit 7 6 . . . 2 1 0

I can see a better usage of it in Option Type so Type will look like this
+-------------------------------------+-------------+-------+
| Spare | Packed IPv6 | IPv6 |
+-------------------------------------+-------------+-------+
And "Option Type" in option field would look like this
Bit 7 6 . . . 0 7 0
+----------+----------------------+---------------------------+
| Optional | Option type | Option length |
+----------+----------------------+---------------------------+
We can have a better fine tuning of options in this way.
Yes, that is exactly my idea. I more like the name
"Parameter" instead of "Option", i.e. we have additional
parameters that can be mandatory (usually) but also can be
optional. For now I don't have idea for any optional
parameters but allocating 1 bit for this does not look
fatal.
I.e. as Julian wrote but transferd to Option Type:
" If backup does not recognize some type it will skip the
connection entry if bit 7 is not set."
