This document does not prohibit, or even suggest against, individual
documents coming up with their own terms, nuanced or not.
A different version of the
same thinking would suggest that any document needing these
extended keywords is not ready for standardization and should be
published as Experimental and left there until the community
makes up its collective mind.
It seems that you didn't read the whole document; RFC 4307 already
uses these terms. My experience with talking to IKEv2 implementers
(mostly OEMs at this point) is that they understood exactly what was
meant and were able to act accordingly when choosing what to put in
their implementations.
