Technical Summary
IEEE Std 802.15.4 defines Information Elements (IEs) that can be used
to extend 802.15.4 in an interoperable manner. The IEEE 802.15
Assigned Numbers Authority (ANA) manages the registry of the
Information Elements. This document formulates a request for ANA to
allocate a number from that registry for IETF, and describes how the
IE is formatted to provide subtypes.
