Dear list, In the attempt of resolving issue #1, I came accross the following references to PAN coordinators:
(1) In order to ease routing table updates and reduce error control messages, it would be helpful if nodes leaving the network inform their coordinator about their intention to disassociate. proposed change: In order to ease routing table updates, reduce their size, and minimize error control messages, nodes leaving the network may announce their disassociation to the closest edge router. (2) [R17] In case there are one or more nodes allocated to coordinator roles, the coordinators MAY take the role of keeping track of node association and de-association within the LoWPAN. proposed change: delete R17 (3) [R18] If the routing protocol functionality includes enabling IP multicast, then it may want to employ coordinator roles, if any, as relay points of group-targeting messages instead of using link-layer multicast (broadcast). proposed change: [R17] If the routing protocol functionality includes enabling IP multicast, then it may want to employ relay points of group-targeting messages instead of using link-layer multicast (broadcast). I've committed the proposed changes into the SVN repository.
