In my opinion, all of those occurrences could be replaced with "IEEE802.15.4-based network"; in some cases s/the 6lowpan/an IEEE802.15.4-based network/   In either case, note the lower-case "network".

Hmm, I'm not so sure that actually improves the text.  (Consistency is the hob...)
(I'm not even sure about Pascal's observation, because the reason for the insufficiency of HC1 is not with IEEE802.15.4, but with the way we use it in 6LoWPANs.)

I actually think Megan's most recent version is perfect, and we should ship that.
