FYI: there are a whole family of network types which have multiple
addresses (long/short).  This includes:
1) BTLE - RFC 7668 IPv6 over BLUETOOTH(R) Low Energy
2) G.9959 - RFC 7428 Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ITU-T G.9959 Networks
3) BACnet and DECT will be defined.  Some of these have 1 byte short
addresses...
4) the various LPWAN people might be able to do IPv6... we'll see.

I think that we the 802.15.4 specific stuff is fine for now, and we can
figure out it might need generalization later on.
