As a co-author, obviously my answer to all these questions is yes. But I think it is worth pointing out why we believe this is a useful WG item. RFC 7228 was published 8 years ago and is being referenced from about 33 RFCs (unfortunately, the datatracker function that gives an easy answer is currently not working, but an overview can be seen at [1]). The idea was to provide common terminology that could be used to more productively discuss constrained node networks. This seems to have worked in the IETF, not only in RFCs, but in WG discussions. There also is impact in research. Some of the 33 RFCs are IRTF documents. But more importantly: Google scholar finds 664 matches in scholarly documents [2]; the retrieval precision here may not be perfect but the number indicates a strong impact. Although scholars often prefer more stable references over an Internet-Draft, several scholarly documents already cite the somewhat more obscure 7228bis document (this is harder to search for in Google Scholar, but one angle is [3]). The intention of the 7228bis document is to react what we have learned about terminology (and the need for terminology) in this space since 2014. This works best if there is feedback from the WG on the terms that we are proposing. So that’s why we think that 7228bis should be a WG item.
