(maybe not so surprising, ) I would like to support Mukul. RPL is one routing protocol, but 6LoWPAN may run under any routing protocol - or none at all.
In all cases, a sleeping node can benefit from asking a neighbor router to provide connectivity to that node. To me this definitely sounds like a feature that belongs to the 6LoWPAN ND toolbox.

I agree. That's why I think 6lowpan ND should provide a mechanism to clearly identify a registered neighbor as a 6lowpan host or a 6lowpan router.
