I just fixed two editorial problems.
It looks like we didn't find the time to discuss the more interesting 
substantive comments.

E.g., I'd love to include some power terminology if we manage to converge 
quickly enough -- otherwise I'd like to ship this draft and do another one 
about power.

I think there are more than two interesting Booleans here.

One class system that has come up in offline discussions centered around 
sustained average power availability (which may also be bound by the ability to 
dissipate):

a) ~ Tens of Watts (desktops > laptops)
b) ~ Watts (tablets > phones)
c) tens to hundreds of milliwatts (other rechargable devices, some building 
infrastructure, line-powered devices in standby mode)
d) tens to hundreds of microwatts (living on an AA for a couple of years)

Somewhat orthogonal to the sustained power availability, some of these devices 
may come with primary batteries.  
If there is some assumption that the lifetime of the device is bound to the 
lifetime of the battery, that somewhat changes the situation (every packet sent 
now cannot be sent later).  
Finally, the scavenging class includes both parking meters with big solar cells 
and light switches feed from the energy of the button press.

Grüße, Carsten
