In general: No. This is IPv6, so nodes MUST be able to communicate using packets of up to 1280 bytes. When designing an application protocol specifically for 6lowpans: I would try to optimize packet sizes so most packets fit in one fragment, possibly using semantic fragmentation to achieve that. I'd certainly not start sending 16-fragment packets as a matter of routine. So my (personal) summary for the discussion of this work item proposal would be: good point, but maybe not the most important optimization right now, as many applications are likely to minimize their transmission sizes anyway.
