If there is anything in the document which is not essential for
interoperability then it can be removed from the document.

RFC6550 and friends (including the 6lowpan and 6man things) have given
us palette of options.  The purpose of this document is how to apply 
those options to a specific situation.  This document *MUST* explain
what options *MUST* be present in a device in order to interoperate 
in the situation.  Given the real constraints in the devices involved,
they can be manufactured with every available feature of the protocol,
nor can we assume that we can turn them all on at the same time, and
create as much state (==memory) as we want.
