Can RGB assets be sent through classic LN nodes that are not aware of RGB assets? #235

Description

Scenario:

I’m exploring the possibility of sending RGB assets through the Lightning Network, specifically in a situation where the payment route includes intermediate nodes that are not RGB-aware.

Example:

•	A (RGB-aware node) wants to send RGB assets to C (RGB-aware node).
•	The payment route includes an intermediate node B, which is a classic Lightning Network node that only handles Bitcoin and is not aware of RGB assets.
•	The route is as follows: A (RGB) -> B (classic BTC node) -> C (RGB).

Question:

•	Is it possible to successfully send RGB assets in this scenario?
•	How does the RGB protocol handle the transfer of assets through nodes like B, which do not recognize or process RGB asset commitments?
•	Does the Lightning Network’s existing infrastructure support this kind of transaction, or are there additional requirements or limitations to consider?

I appreciate any insights or technical explanations on how this scenario could be handled within the RGB and Lightning Network protocols.

Thank you!
