Re: [6lowpan] WG adoption of draft-patil-6lowpan-v6over-btle-01.txt

Some clarification (I hope):
P802.15.4-2006 alone is not the current standard: There are three 
approved amendments and so the current standard is P802.15.4-2006 plus 
the three amendments approved (P802.15.4a-2007, P802.15.4c-2009 and 
P802.15.4d-2009).  You need all 4 documents to know what is in the 
current standard.

The latest revision, which is in the final stages balloting, is a 
"roll-up" that rolls all the approved amendments and the prior revision 
together into one draft.  The standard is re-organized to be easier to 
use and facilitate future revisions more easily (there are 5 TGs working 
on more amendments to 15.4).

The revision is almost "cooked" but as Carsten says not yet served up.  
The latest draft will be recirculated in a few days.  It is expected to 
be forwarded for publication by end of April.

Hope that helps.
