Comment(by [email protected]):

 Fix from Carsten:

 Prf is a two-bit signed (two's complement) field.
 11 = -1.
 00 = 0.
 01 = 1.
 (10 = 2. is reserved in RFC 4191 -- we could start to use it if needed,
 though.)

 I haven't thought through whether SHOULD is the right level of requirement
 here.
 (Intuitively, I'd say MUST, because I can imagine the protocol seriously
 misbehaving without.)

 (Maybe it would also be good to add a short note that, while the M and O
 bits are available, they are not very useful in a 6LoWPAN.)

 Gruesse, Carsten
