I for one agree with this assessment and suggest striking this diagram and reducing

Dave,

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.
