Hi Samita: For all I know, standards such as ISA100.11a or ZigbeeIP will pick and choose tools from the IETF box and specify which exact part they need and use, like what they put in the context info, etc... For HC, they are free to define a subset of the draft that's required for conformance and leave the rest out. For instance ISA100.11a does not derive the global addresses from EUI64 and only cares for stateful compression. An implementation that wishes to play in many environments had better support the whole thing though.
