Tero’s correct, we always get lectured from the IEEE editors that the standard is referred to as IEEE Std 802.15.4 (note that Std has no period after it). Tero’s also correct that once you define 802.15.4 as a short version of IEEE Std 802.15.4, you can use it. BTW: used as a descriptor, you drop the Std, i.e. an IEEE 802.15.4 device.

Tero commented (https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6tisch/current/msg05094.html <https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6tisch/current/msg05094.html>): I think IEEE wants that their standards are referenced as "IEEE Std 802.15.4", not IEEE802.15.4. Might be good idea to replace use that, and if shorter version is needed just add "802.15.4" to terminology and define it to mean IEEE Std 802.15.4, and then use the shorter version in rest o fthe document. We would not want people to write "RFC.6550", as that would just look funny... In https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-17 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-17> we write IEEE802.15.4, partly because of habit, partly before it makes sure no newline will be inserted between IEEE and 802.15.4. Can you either confirm that that's OK from IEEE's point of view, or instruct us on the right wording?
