Hi Jeff,

the documentation clearly says that action 0x00 and 0x02 are only valid for LE addresses. Action 0x01 is valid for BR/EDR and LE addresses.

If anyone wants to implement action 0x00 semantics on BR/EDR, then it requires using Periodic Inquiry. It is possible, but it is not a common use case these days.
