I refer you to section 6.5.1…

6.5.1. Terminology

The terms ISP and LIR are used interchangeably in this document and any use of 
either term shall be construed to include both meanings. 
The term nibble boundary shall mean a network mask which aligns on a 4-bit 
boundary (in slash notation, /n, where n is evenly divisible by 4, allowing 
unit quantities of X such that 2^n=X where n is evenly divisible by 4, such as 
16, 256, 4096, etc.)

While it is a little unusual to have definitions outside of section 2, these 
were placed here in section 6.5.1 in order to avoid potential conflicts with 
certain language that was in section 4 at the time of writing.
