I don’t know whether it has any
impact either. That’s really the point – it might, and I don’t
think 802.21 should spend the time finding out.

Can you
describe what the problem is in greater detail? The last time I looked
at token ring was around 1989. I'm fuzzy on the details.
We are
already in a situation of effectively ignoring certain media, as in we're not
making sure that we accomodate it, so it might not work. A current
examples is 802.17. Is 802.5 in the same class? Maybe.

This is a serious question….
802.5’s source routing may
have special impact on handover. Is the plan that 802.21 will support
handover from Token Ring?
The reason I ask this, is that I
suspect the answer is “no” – i.e. that we aren’t really
talking about a generic handover, but handover between a defined subset of 802
technologies.
