Actually, it doesn’t.

The title is 

Registration Extensions for IPv6 over
6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery

because 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery was invented for 6LoWPAN before we started applying it to the entirety of 6Lo.

The RFC editor guidelines caused this title to be expanded to:

Registration Extensions for IPv6 over
Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery

which is indeed the expansion of “6LoWPAN”, but does not help at all — it just muddies the waters by polluting the title with terms that are no longer relevant to the document at hand.

(I’m not going to go into the other parts of the current discussion; I have no idea how something like OCB can be discussed without acknowledging the hidden terminal problem, a.k.a. non-transitive connectivity, so it seems to me I won't have much to contribute.)
