From the presentation, I had a different impression.

Actually, it is required, as RFC4944 and its updates only define 6LoWPAN for IEEE 802.15.4.
If two people took these documents and tried to apply them to BT-LE, they wouldn't necessarily arrive at interoperable specifications.

> Is the WG re-opened?

No, it is alive and well until such a time when it is actually being closed.
All that was said is that the Prague meeting will be the last physical meeting of the WG.
We want to close our unfinished business, and a number of documents are based on discussions that went on at least since Beijing, so if they fit our charter and we have energy to work on them, there is no problem doing that.

Gruesse, Carsten
