Bit of a fundamental question to be asking at this stage?

ROLL defines LLNs as "Low power and lossy networks"
The BOF request defines "Lossy Link Networks" 

Clearly lossy link networks form a subset of low power and lossy networks. But
is the intention to exclude low power considerations?

It would really help to not define the same acronym with two different but very
close meanings (notwithstanding WAD [RFC5513]).

Could you clarify and simplify?

Thanks,
Adrian
