Given that we can't run on 802.15.4-2011, this is why I'm concerned about
referencing "802.15.4".

How does an outsider know when the reference was made?  Is it by the date
of the document making the reference?

If the IETF writes a document in 2014, but it doesn't get published in Jan. 
2015,
what IEEE document would "802.15.4" reference?

Robert suggests text like:

and so if we can do this, then I'm happy.
