This clearly is at the political layer. Within the IETF, we have SMIv2
to write MIB modules (~20 years of experience) and YANG to write YANG
modules (~2 (?) years of experience). Do you want an open ended
charter or something concrete? In fact, I would argue that it is not
6lo's charter item to invent how contrained networks are managed nor
is it their charter to define yet another data modeling approach.

Bottom line: Your suggested change is opening up how things are done
but I frankly do not see any/many choices I consider to be in scope of
6lo. (And hence I am not sure the change is helpful.)
