Some findings...
Annex X.3 Power save parameters selection still contains wordings “mesh STA in power save mode” which are intended to be eliminated from TGs spec.
Need to amend these wordings as well.
Clause Data frame format (in the base standard) contains the utilization of BSSID for frames containing A-MSDU. This needs to be changed to Address 2 for frames transmitted by mesh STA.
Need additional amendment to

Some more information

Editor prefers to receive the text with “Track Changes” (rather than the text with underline or strikeout)
It is easier to implement the changes to FrameMaker.
Only tracked portions are reflected to the draft spec.
