It depends on how much of the documentation we want to update with this 
fast-track.  There are certainly many implementation details contained in 
the design document that are not exactly reflective of the updated code. 
  The code currently in dls_mgmt.c (which I think is what you're 
referring to) would fall into that category, and was discussed in section 
6.2.2 of the design document.

I tend to agree, but during our last meeting with Crossbow, I seem to 
remember Cathy saying that she had MDT working in the UV code before the 
fast-path even existed.  It's not a big deal, I'm just wondering if 
removing the fast-path was also pulled MAC_CAPAB_MDT out of the gate, or 
if it was something else.

Okay.
