Yes, but RFC 9300 specifies IID as a 24 bits field. There is no inter-operable 
description in how to convert a 32-bit field in a 24-bit and vice versa. Hence 
we should just stick to 24 bits.

You are right on this. I did remeber the 8060 type 2 LCAF wrongly.

Which is an inconsistency and we should fix this now.
