True enough.

However, when looking at details of the specs, it might that 802.11
documents do use the words 'IP' and 'IPv6' in particular.  Last time I
looked at an 802.11 spec I was successful in searching and finding the
word IPv6.  That was some years ago.

Now the situation is different.  The word should be there, but it should
cite [RFC 8691] in the case of OCB operation of 802.11.

I mean, if the word 'IPv6' is there in the 802.11bd document, then it
makes no sense to not cite RFC 8691.

If the word 'IPv6' is not there in the 802.11bd document, then indeed it
makes sense to not cite RFC 8691.

(I would be tempted to suggest the same to ISO TC204 documents but I
know you will not agree because I know in your thought this RFC8691 does
not fully address one's expectations of fully variable wireless
environments of automobile networks; so I dont suggest it for ISO TC 204).

Yours,

Alex
