I attended .1 meetings in Dallas the week after Vancouver and the fashion was more around:

- cannot bridge 64  bits address (but the reason is more for incompatible MAC expectation in 15.4 like latency than for address translation reasons)
- should go back to EUI 48 for everything (and the reason was that changing all the mibs that have 48 bits in them is a nightmare)

Cheers,

Pascal
