What you propose below is fine.

Hi Robert,

Good catch.  To be more flexible, how about saying that any bits not covered by 
the context and IID derivation are zero (it allows a context to carry a prefix 
less than 64 bits).

The full text I'm proposing is as follows:

          00:  The UNSPECIFIED address, ::
          01:  64 bits.  The address is derived using context information
             and the 64 bits carried in-line.  Any bits of the IID not
             covered by context information are taken directly from the
             corresponding bits carried in-line.  Any remaining bits are
             zero.
          10:  16 bits.  The address is derived using context information
             and the 16 bits carried in-line.  Any bits of the IID not
             covered by context information are taken directly from their
             corresponding bits in the 16-bit to IID mapping given by
             0000:00ff:fe00:XXXX, where XXXX are the 16 bits carried in-
             line.  Any remaining bits are zero.
          11:  0 bits.  The address is fully elided.  The prefix is
             derived using context information.  Any bits of the IID not
             covered by the context information are computed from the
             encapsulating header (e.g. 802.15.4 or IPv6 source address)
             as specified in Section 3.2.2.  Any remaining bits are zero.

The text will be mirrored for the destination address as well.

Please provide feedback soon so I can post a new version and *hopefully* we can 
submit to IESG right after.

It's a minor nit but the text as it's written now assumes the context will be 
at least 64 bits. I don't see that written down anywhere - should it be?

Added text to specify that the 16-bit to IID mapping is used to derive IID bits 
when SAC/DAC=1 and the context does not cover those bits.

Subject: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-6lowpan-hc-12


A new version of I-D, draft-ietf-6lowpan-hc-12.txt has been successfully 
submitted by Jonathan Hui and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:        draft-ietf-6lowpan-hc
Revision:        12
Title:           Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams in 6LoWPAN Networks
Creation_date:   2010-09-21
WG ID:           6lowpan
Number_of_pages: 23

Abstract:
This document specifies an IPv6 header compression format for IPv6
packet delivery in 6LoWPAN networks.  The compression format relies
on shared context to allow compression of arbitrary prefixes.  How
the information is maintained in that shared context is out of scope.
This document specifies compression of multicast addresses and a
framework for compressing next headers.  UDP header compression is
specified within this framework.
