Translation: this seems like an interesting idea, but the concepts are, IMO, probably much better expressed in nuanced text rather than in cute codes.
This document does not prohibit, or even suggest against, individual documents coming up with their own terms, nuanced or not.
A different version of the same thinking would suggest that any document needing these extended keywords is not ready for standardization and should be published as Experimental and left there until the community makes up its collective mind.
It seems that you didn't read the whole document; RFC 4307 already uses these terms. My experience with talking to IKEv2 implementers (mostly OEMs at this point) is that they understood exactly what was meant and were able to act accordingly when choosing what to put in their implementations.
