Are you writing to enable SCHC over *802.15.4* radios, or any network which
happens to use 6lo compression techniques?  e.g. DECT, G.99, PLC, ??
Do you expect SCHC frames to co-exist with 6lo frames?
(It sounds like it uses 6lo code pages, etc)

i think the answer should be driven by input from those who might want to use
this on other media.  What do they want, if anything.
