Comment # 5 on bug 8970 from 
"While a PANID is a critical part of the 802.15.4 network, the line in RFC4944
you mention is ambiguous. How does one side know if the other "knows" the
PAN-ID? For this reason RFC6282 removed that option - it now always sets those
bits to zero, which guarantees both sides made the same assumption."

Isn't the PAN ID *always* in the IEEE 802.15.4 frame control field (destination
PAN id and source PAN id), unless it is a beacon or MAC command frame?
