in my opinion that's an interesting point. Why not writing a more generic document specifying IPv6 over low-power wireless? This could cover more common considerations about the requirements to the link layer for new 6lowpan implementations.

For instance we've implemented 6lowpan [1] for our micro kernel based operating system which currently supports MSP430 as well as an ARM7. But as our transceiver (TI CC110x) is neither capable of 802.15.4 nor bt-le at the physical layer we cannot be RFC compliant.

Therefore, a more generic specification for IPv6 over low-power wireless foo would be really interesting for us - and probably a lot of other people as CC1020 and CC110x are very popular transceivers for WSN.

[1] For clarification: we have implemented RFC4944, current ND and HC as well as the 802.15.4 frame format based on CSMA for sub-GHz band.
