+1 I came to IEEE 802.15.10 at the inception of the work telling them exactly that.
As opposed to IEEE work that would have been pure RPL based L2R, my 'natural' approach for an IETF work would be storing mode and Address Family. Use IPv6 as signaling for all AFs and transport Short addresses as one AF in DAO messages; that design opens to IPv4 and all sorts of MAC layers. We could also work in non-storing, enabling, potentially, a mixed mode where some hops are IP and some others are L2. Note that the 6TiSCH backbone design is L2 in the backbone and routed at the IOT edge.
