this model is not appropriate. I for one agree with this assessment and

For implementation I believe others can couple MAC and PHY as tightly as
desired, however for the purposes of standardizing the functionality a
Reference model such as that shown should be used to capture the
appropriate functionality and describe it in a non-confusing way.
As we proceed towards a standards development, lets not muddle the layers
together - makes the standard that much more difficult to understand and
implement.
