I agree, it should be removed. The EXI was mentioned there as a  
benchmark for payload sizes (not to fix anything), but that doesn't  
make sense either. I think the overhead goal should be more explicit  
there instead of talking about benchmarks. Now it says "enabling a  
50-70 byte payload".... considering what? I assume a 50-70 payload  
after IEEE 802.15.4 + 6LoWPAN  + UDP + CoAP without LoWPAN  
fragmentation.... without security. Or should we just say CoAP should  
aim at a header overhead of less than 10 bytes for simple cases  
without security?
