Hi Mark,

While there were discussions of various criteria for assigning a
non-extended Element ID, including appearing in Beacons as one reason,
I don't think any of them achieved official status. We could try for
WG approval at the mid-week plenary in Vancouver and fall back to an
Element ID Extension if the WG does not approve...

Thanks,
Donald

Since this parameter will be in every Beacon for any AP which supports GLK (even if mixed mode), this seems like a good candidate for the non-extension form. But, perhaps I'm not thinking of the rules correctly.
