Hi, There are major differences between 802.15.4 and bt-le in the link and phy layers, topology etc. In fact, there are major differences between Bt and Bt-le as well. 802.15.4 can not be considered as a generalization of Bluetooth modifications.

To me IMHO bluetooth is to 802.15.4 what wifi is to 802.11 - a marketing name. It seems sufficient to specify ipv6 over 802.15.4 and that would cover all variants of bluetooth. There is no ipv6-over-802.11n, nor ipv6-over-wifilowpower, for example. I may be wrong though about bluetooth being mostly 802.15.4 rfc4944 and rfc2460. >> Is the WG re-opened? > > No, it is alive and well until such a time when it is actually being > closed.
