I want to weaken this, we can also have only the short address of the
neighbor. But it depends on assoc/deassoc, I would think the extended
address should be known. If you look on air and make per neighbor
stats... you can see a neighbor with either a short or extended
address being used. Map them to one neighbor if using a short address
is only possible if you know the mapping... (but this is so far I see
not the case here).

We need some kind of policy here, but with assoc/deassoc we should
always know this mapping.
