* Including IAB, IRTF and other non-IETF bodies which also publish RFCs?



Only the IETF stream can publish standards-track docs, so maybe those keywords are less important? 



* It wasn't clear which kind of definition of IETF was used in this text.
* I guess the intent was to include these IETF-related entitites too.



I don’t think so. The IETF stream doesn’t make policy about other streams, it’s up to those streams to pick them up, in this case probably on a per-document basis.
