As I alluded to in Paris, I don't really think this is currently a valid informational document; the document it *should* be is guidelines on how to implement RPL, not a description of a series of basic and naive mistakes. Unless we want a companion document, which for each of the issues raised says how to solve it.  We wouldn't write an RFC on someone's experience with congestion collapse after implementing a transport protocol without congestion control. Just my 2c.
