Thanks for all the comments received during WGLC of hc-08.  Special thanks to Carsten who proposed text to resolve those comments in addition to a number of editorial fixes.

Changes found in hc-09:
- Indicate that a mechanism to learn decompressor's capabilities to decode additional (future) NHCs is out of scope.
- Clarify how to derive IID bits not covered by the context when only 16 bits are carried inline.
- Clarify the value of the Length field for compressed extension headers.
- Added an IANA registry for LOWPAN_NHC types.

Chairs: time to start another (short) WGLC?

> Abstract:
> This document specifies an IPv6 header compression format for IPv6
> packet delivery in 6LoWPAN networks.  The compression format relies
> on shared context to allow compression of arbitrary prefixes.  How
> the information is maintained in that shared context is out of scope.
> This document specifies compression of multicast addresses and a
> framework for compressing next headers.  UDP header compression is
> specified within this framework.
