Technical Summary:

        This short specification provides a simple addition to 6LoWPAN Header
        Compression that enables the compression of generic headers and
        header-like payloads, without a need to define a new header
        compression scheme for each new such header or header-like payload.

Working Group Summary:

        There were no particular points of contention in the WG process, and the
        consensus behind publication of this document as a Standards Track RFC
        appears solid.

Document Quality:

        There are multiple experimental implementations.
        There have been no specific MIB doctor, Media Type or other expert reviews
        done.

Personnel:

        The Document Shepherd is Ulrich Herberg.
        The Responsible Area Director is Brian Haberman.
