For this specific section, for the sake of consistency between the IETF 
documents, 
we refer to the “draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation“ document 
[ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation/ ], 
where it is said:
1- in section "4.4 - AQM algorithms SHOULD respond to measured congestion, not 
application profiles."
“
Procedures for selecting packets to mark/drop
   SHOULD observe the actual or projected time that a packet is in a
   queue (bytes at a rate being an analog to time).  When an AQM
   algorithm decides whether to drop (or mark) a packet, it is
   RECOMMENDED that the size of the particular packet should not be
   taken into account [RFC7141].
" 
2- in section "4.5.  AQM algorithms SHOULD NOT be dependent on specific 
transport protocol behaviours"
“
AQM methods should be opaque to the choice of transport and application.
"

IMHO, these two points infer that this would be applied for pure ack traffic as 
well. 
If changes need to be done on that aspect, it should be on the 
“draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation“ document.

Whatever happens, the “characterisation guidelines" document should be 
consistent with the “recommendation document”, 
and now that you mention this section, I am not sure that a discussion on the 
packet sizes is needed in the “characterisation guidelines” document.  
What do you think ?

Kind regards, 

Nicolas
