I've never coupled "nanoWatt" to the fact 
that some
Dxxx-parameters should be better on those devices
then on 
other devices.

But rather to the fact that they have such features as
1% intosc, an intosc "gearbox" with 8 steps, WDT with
a larger range, 
two-speed startup and so on. And in
those cases what I wrote about the 
12F's is correct.

Now, since the 12F683 has twice the flash, much more 
RAM,
more peripherials and so on, I'm not surpriced that one
can find 
some parameters that are "worse" compared
with the older 12F's with 
less flash, less RAM and
less features in general.
