I fully agree here.

Please use "zigbee" instead of "ieee*" names since that can become messy
and confusing. I know that in theory the IEEE part of ZigBee is more
low-level radio and could be used by non-ZigBee devices, but that is not
gonna happen anyway. Especially with Bluetooth Low Energy pushing into
the turf of ZigBee. So please use proper names and not confuse people
with IEEE numbers ;)

Regards

Marcel
