This is a step in the wrong direction… If you’re going to unify the terminology, ISP->LIR would be the better choice.
6.5.1.b was initially placed in section 6 because it only applies to IPv6 addresses and there was significant backlash at the time against putting anything IPv6 specific in section 2. I have no problem with it remaining where it is, but I also have no problem with moving it.
