Re: [6lowpan] [ADs] AUTH48 [MF]: RFC 6282<draft-ietf-6lowpan-hc-15.txt>

["Pascal Thubert (pthubert)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Megan;

Same here.

I'm not longing for any perfection. I trust an engineer that needs to
implement this spec can certainly do it with the current text and I'm
happy with it as I was before that episode.

As far as I am concerned we are ready to publish. Thanks a huge bunch
for your efforts and sorry for all those discussions.

Cheers,

Pascal
