[Carles] Well, the original (and current) focus of this draft was using
SCHC (header compression part only) over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.

[Carles] Yes, we understand that such coexistence might be needed in some
environments. To avoid coexistence issues, we plan to request one (now two)
6LoWPAN Dispatch Type bit pattern(s).
