[ Disclaimer: I am working for NIST on a related document. ]

The NIST definition is good for some environments, but it does not lend itself well to an IETF effort that will discuss provisioning, particularly the SaaS and PaaS parts. If we do not scope down more narrowly than "everything that can be virtualized", there is probably no reason to start work on how to provision that everything.
