For those of you familiar with the the specification (and for those of you who aren’t) (which is estimated to become official in April of 2008) it appears that the Task Group charged with creating the specification does not seem to have intentions to implement protection for control frames on the wireless network.

This means it will still be vulnerable to DoS (Denial-of-Service) type attacks that exploit control techniques over the wireless spectrum.

Given that the specification is still about 2 years off there is still plenty of time to add some mitigation to this, although the process is likely as bureaucratic as any so this might not be feasible.
