The charter is presumably a draft, not a consensus. The numbers in the charter seem to lack rigorous justification, so I'm not comfortable with them as they stand. So, yes, I'm suggesting to either drop the numbers or make them more useful. In addition, memory size arguments are not terribly helpful unless each proposal will have a canonical implementation in the I-D. At least from my experience, people are very bad at estimating implementation complexity, except that one's own proposal by definition has lower complexity than any competing proposals.

  I think that today's things are being designed with
  wonderful chips like your Ember EM351 and EM357 which
  have 128kB and 192kB of flash and lots of RAM; like the
  Jennic JN5148, the Freescale MC13224, the Dust DN2510.
  They can run IP, they will run IP, and in many cases they
  do run IP.

Kris,

Their wonderfulness aside, those chips are not what the
6lowpan charter describes.  Yes, I agree that rechartering
for bigger platforms would make our job easier, and could
reduce the number of new protocols needed.  I am not arguing
for or against it, just asking you if you are proposing that
we amend the charter.  If not, then we should use the specs
that it has.
