I see. Earlier versions of the 11s draft gave implementers the choice
of whether to use ad-hoc or ap-style beaconing for mesh. The current
draft (that cannot be changed anymore) defines a separate beaconing
style for mesh, that is very close to AP-style beaconing. So it is
reasonably to use ap-style until someone implements the additional
mesh-specific beaconing functions.
