If I read that right, you are saying that we use 2nd last entry in the
table 2a, where both source and destination addreses are present,
frame version is 0b10, but where we do NOT have source PAN ID, but do
have destination PAN ID, and PAN ID compression is set to 0.

Looking at the 15-15-0130-03 document, at least Ben Rolfe tought that
entry in the table 2a is incorrect. I.e. the second last entry in the
table 2a should still have BOTH source and destination PAN IDs.

If the 2nd last line in table 2a is correct, there is no way to send
frame version 0b10 frames which has both source and destination PAN
IDs in it, and I have understood that this feature is something that
is actually used.
