in my opinion that's an interesting point. Why not writing a more generic 
document specifying IPv6 over low-power wireless? This could cover more common 
considerations about the requirements to the link layer for new 6lowpan 
implementations.

For instance we've implemented 6lowpan [1] for our micro kernel based operating 
system which currently supports MSP430 as well as an ARM7. But as our 
transceiver (TI CC110x) is neither capable of 802.15.4 nor bt-le at the 
physical layer we cannot be RFC compliant.

Therefore, a more generic specification for IPv6 over low-power wireless foo 
would be really interesting for us - and probably a lot of other people as 
CC1020 and CC110x are very popular transceivers for WSN.

Oleg

[1] For clarification: we have implemented RFC4944, current ND and HC as well 
as the 802.15.4 frame format based on CSMA for sub-GHz band.
