In the meantime, it's available at:

Here's a list of changes:

   Changes from version draft-ietf-6lowpan-format-02.txt to version
   draft-ietf-6lowpan-format-03.txt are as follows:

      Interface Identifier derivation using 16-bit short addresses now
      using the PAN ID as well.

      Word of caution on the transient nature of 16 bit short addresses.

      Reassembly now also keying on destination and datagram_size.

      Mesh delivery header now allowing mix of 16/64 bit addresses.
      This leaves 6 bits for hops_left (64 hops is plenty).

      Added optional Multicast Address mapping patterned after that of
      ethernet.

      Clarified that all zero addresses must not be used (for either 16
      or 64 bit formats).

      Added address format section to IANA considerations to define
      unicast, multicast and reserved address formats.

      Added Mesh Broadcast or Multicast Delivery Field.

      Created a new section on Addressing Modes.

      Sundry editorial changes.
