This proved useful for Ethernet; too much maybe since we were fooled

I take advantage of this note from Pascal, to extend a parenthesis.
IPv6-over-Ethernet is specified in RFC2464.
IPv6-over-WiFi is not specified. There are differences in the formats
of headers between Ethernet and WiFi, noticed by wireshark.
IPv6 works ok over WiFi because there is an adaptation in place in all
stacks which convert the 802.11 Data Header and the LLC Header into an
Ethernet II header; IPv6 works only on this latter.
This adaptation is worth documenting. If so it may help other needs
like IPv6-over-80211p, 11ac and 11ad.

Given that we can't run on 802.15.4-2011, this is why I'm
concerned about referencing "802.15.4".
So, a reference to IEEE Std 802.3 (without year) today is
identical to the 2012 dated reference, but when the current
revision is approved (expected this year), a reference to the
2012 revision would not include the maintenance changes included
in the current revision, nor any of the amendments likely to be
approved soon after the revision is approved.
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:
In development of this RFC, IEEE Std 802.99 documents considered
included IEEE Std 802.99-2016 and P802.99/D8.
and so if we can do this, then I'm happy.
