o In many markets, minimizing the cost of wireless PAN nodes
is critical. For example, the difference in cost between
32 KB of ROM and 64 KB of ROM may make the difference between
a product that is competitive and one that is not. Of course,
this extra 32 KB of RAM will reduce the battery life of the
node, as well.

Sooner or later, someone will figure out that we have no intention of
actually implementing IPv6 in wireless PANs, (e.g., mobile IP, IPsec,
a bunch of MIBs, etc.). We should be prepared to explain why.
[Speaking of MIBs, will wireless PAN/IP gateways have MIBs?]
