Not sure how fantastic (or not) it is - it is not immediately clear to me how tied MLE should be to RPL - if it truly aims at being for _MESH_ link establishment, then it would appear to be a much larger scope, and should not be tied narrowly to a special-purpose protocol's type-space (& conventions etc., that do not apply universally).
