COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Substantive Comments

-- Section 4, 2nd paragraph, "A node MAY use different values": Is that
intended to weaken the RECOMMENDED in the previous sentence? (If not,
then is the MAY needed at all?)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER:
The sentence has been removed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 4.5.1, first 3 paragraphs: Why are the SHOULDs not MUSTs? Can you
articulate why it might be reasonable to make other choices?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER:

The 2 first SHOULD have been changed to MUST. The last SHOULD is kept as
SHOULD as the PANID compression fields have different valid configurations
that SHOULD be supported.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 4.5.2, 3rd paragraph, "It MAY be necessary..."
That seems like a statement of fact. Please consider non-2119 language.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER:

The sentence has been reworded as:
"During the joining process, before secure connections to time parents have
been created, a node MAY maintain synchronization using EBs."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 4th paragraph: It's not clear to me if the MUST in "MUST be sent as
per the 802.15.4 specification..." is constraining options from that
specification, or just referring to requirements that exists in that
specification. If the latter, please consider descriptive rather than
normative language. (e.g. "The 802.15.4 specification requires...."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER:
The text has been rephrased:
The IEEE Std 802.15.4 specification requires EBs to be send in order to
enable nodes to join the network. The EBs SHOULD carry the Information
Elements (IEs) listed below"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 6.1, 3rd paragraph: Why is the SHOULD not a MUST? When might it make
sense not to follow those rules?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER:

SHOULD has been changed by a MUST. We though in supporting other mechanisms
at some point.
