This seems like a total misuse of the RFC framework / process and more a grab at publicity, but I'll play 
along...bogon.  You should include the term "bogon".  Someday when I'm done keeping actual production networks alive, 
I may wade into the morass of IETF & IEEE and work on trimming the fat...or maybe just retire.  It's a tough call.

Not saying I agree or disagree, what is the definition of appropriate
use and how does this particular draft violate in comparison to the
existing corpus?

Someone might want to argue RFCs are for technical implementations,
but there are increasingly many RFCs with no relevance to technical
implementations at all, which are significantly more soft ball than
the work proposed here.
