Some clarification (I hope):
P802.15.4-2006 alone is not the current standard: There are three
approved amendments and so the current standard is P802.15.4-2006 plus
the three amendments approved (P802.15.4a-2007, P802.15.4c-2009 and
P802.15.4d-2009). You need all 4 documents to know what is in the
current standard.
The latest revision, which is in the final stages balloting, is a
"roll-up" that rolls all the approved amendments and the prior revision
together into one draft. The standard is re-organized to be easier to
use and facilitate future revisions more easily (there are 5 TGs working
on more amendments to 15.4).
The revision is almost "cooked" but as Carsten says not yet served up.
The latest draft will be recirculated in a few days. It is expected to
be forwarded for publication by end of April.
Hope that helps.

Do you know whether 802.15.4-2011 doc refers to the use of the lowpan

The current version of the standard, IEEE 802.15.4-2006 does not address layer
3 issues.
(Clearly, it couldn't reference RFC 4944, which was published in 2007.)
It's the other way around: RFC 4944 references IEEE 802.15.4, and one
corrigenda that has been proposed is for 4944 to reference IEEE 802.15.4-2006
and not IEEE 802.15.4-2003.
I can't find the 802.15.4-2011 document.
That isn't cooked yet.
To get the current versions of the standard:
http://standards.ieee.org/about/get/802/802.15.html
This page also has a link titled: "IEEE Shop: Buy 802 Draft Standards"
There you can buy a copy of the draft a revision of which might become
802.15.4-2011 later.
(Search for 802.15.4; the shop does not make good use of Web links.)
One year later, this standard will also become available from the above link.
Gruesse, Carsten
