Ok, you get half a cookie from my inner geek. But  my inner literateur
insists it should be "using the techniques of 6LowPan
(IPv6-over-Low-power-wireless-Personal-Area-Network)." ;) As written the
sentence does not parse, except for geeks, heh. [IPv6 is transported ..
using IPv6] ... vs. IPv6 is transported ... using [IPv6 over ...]...
