This is a direct consequence of their custom of putting most definitions in
this section.  Another approach, more typical of IETF documents, is for terms
and conventions to be defined on first use.  Some documents will collect
this information into a section on conventions or definitions, but there is
no requirement to do it in any particular manner.

For this proposal to get any traction, you should propose specific text,
or at least provide specific examples of terms which have caused problems
for readers of the document.
