Hmm, I'm not so sure that actually improves the text.  (Consistency is the 
hob...)
(I'm not even sure about Pascal's observation, because the reason for the 
insufficiency of HC1 is not with IEEE802.15.4, but with the way we use it in 
6LoWPANs.)

I actually think Megan's most recent version is perfect, and we should ship 
that.
