Ok, that's better, instead of questioning my sanity they will now question their own knowledge level ;)
 I understand the concerns as the terms 'sleepy' and 'sleeping' are already widely used.

thanks,

Yes.  Changed it to "available power and energy".

> section 2.2.1. ; term "MSL" -> perhaps write it out in full here. Similar as done with the DTN term in the same section.

Indeed (I already had done that based on another editorial comment).

> section 4.3: could we mention here the term "sleepy device" as being equivalent, or an alternative for, the "Always-off" class?
>        I've seen the term "sleepy" more often used than the term "Always-off". The latter term may be confusing (try explaining to a colleague that you want to communicate with an always-off device...)

Well, just tell them that you want to communicate with an S0-class device.

The problem I have with "sleepy" is that it is not clear whether S0 or S1 is meant.
Trying to assign a specific meaning to an existing overloaded term is nearly impossible, inventing  a new term is much better.  Of course, "always-off" is a bit provocative...  Good that we have the numeric classes, too.
