I closed all possible tickets and submitted version -11 of the ND draft. Tickets #82 and #88 on message size optimization were left open for now as the WG discussion was inconclusive, although Colin is working on a NHC idea for 6lowpan specific compression of ND messages. Those size optimizations are not critical however, more like a "nice to have". The draft should now be in very stable shape, and we have several interoperable implementations. There may still be a need for small clarifications on which addresses to use where and different approaches for applying the draft as more implementations come along. I think these cosmetic changes (if any) can be taken into account during LC.
