This seems like a rather radical departure from the original cleanly 
layered Nemo design philosophy. It seems like what is required is the 
*extension* of DLS to cope with the diverse number of MAC types allowed 
by the plug-in architecture (remembering that prior to the plug-ins the 
MAC layer was strictly ethernet).
If anything should be removed it should be DLD; it's about time that IP 
interfaced directly to DLS and we finally get rid of STREAMS in the 
common case.
