Hi Carsten: All this makes a lot of sense to me. At some point though, it appears that the work belongs to another area.
Would there be a way for 6LoWPAN to trigger/sponsor work in http://www.apps.ietf.org/ about compressed web services for use in LoWPANs? If that was to succeed the next question would be whether that would be relevant to manage the device as well, and the answer would probably be yes...
