Yes Carsten, I agree there's a confusion that we need to clean up on the ROLL side. My definition of leaf echoes yours from RFC 6550. A leaf still understands RPL. But over time people started using the term as a plain host attached to a RPL router but that does not know about RPL at all. This is why in my draft I called them "unaware leaves" but in fact they are plain hosts. I'd be happy with a better term.
