Re: new issue: [LL36] Combine and rework section 1.7 and 2.11 to be clearer

Eric,

OK, I see now. Based on section 3.3, a LL only device can sent directly 
to a routable address device (provided it's on the same link). And by 
section 2.6.2 the LL only device will ARP for the routable address.

Sorry for being dense about this. I was just focusing on section 1.7.

Thanks,

Alex
