Clearing up marketing-tainted terminology is not a good use of the IETF.
At this point "Zero Trust" is largely unrecoverable.

And in any case, all Zero Trust has ever meant AFAICT is for corporate
networks to finally embrace things that have been standard in IETF
protocols for a long time: Authorization and access control, ubiquitous
encryption, etc.

If there's some protocol work to do here, let's do it.  But from the
documents posted up-thread, this seems like territory that is already
well-covered by existing standards.
