draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-00 .11-OCB does use beacons

Hello IPWAVErs,

It was suggested in private that, contrary to what the draft says, the 
.11-OCB does use beacons.

As such, the following line should disappear from the draft:

> 4.  Aspects introduced by the OCB mode to 802.11
>
>    In the IEEE 802.11 OCB mode, all nodes in the wireless range can
>    directly communicate with each other without authentication/
>    association procedures.  Briefly, the IEEE 802.11 OCB mode has the
>    following properties:
>
>    o  Wildcard BSSID (i.e., all bits are set to 1) used by each node
>
>    o  [strike through] No beacons transmitted

Yours,

Alex
