Concerning terminology: there was a time when the term "IoT device" was too
often misunderstood as *excluding* the microcontroller range.
(Hence docs like RFC7228 and others which needed to spell out some
constraints not to be forgotten.)
Now it seems we amazingly reversed this situation!

Concerning protocols: what is shown to work with less resources, can also
work when more resources are available...
