"Wireline IP applications" really is "Wireline VoIP applications"
in this context. What this means is that the application is either
replacing wireline applications, or is interoperting with PSTN
wireline applications.
VoIP implementations that interface with wireline networks have
different requirements and interfaces than those interfacing with
PSTN wireless applications.
In either case, it is certainly appropriate to consider that
mobility applications may have different constraints and requirements
than fixed applications.
Particularly in applications (like real-time voice), the application
may be very concerned that the underlying fabric is or is not capable
of delivering the necessary bandwidth, latency, etc.

Hum,
Did the IESG depricate IP over Avian Carrier when I blinked?
And the draft on IP over seismic waves is due any day now.
