Re: [6lowapp] Proposed charter for 6LoWAPP BOF

I couldn't agree more with your points which I highlighted below. We can't
look at this in a vacuum of just HANs but rather, it has to be a holistic
view.

In this case since time is of the essence, looking specifically at energy
management use cases is fine. I think Don went down this path in the thread
for message filtering and collectors and I think it would be good if we saw
more of how CoAp would relate to the rest of the networks and the
ideal qualities we want in it considering this holistic view, and then see
how much of that is possible.
