I agree with your observation

My observation is that WG is using a range of terms to refer to

* HTTP/2's tree-based priority model
* signalled using HTTP/2 frames
* HTTP/3's HTTP/2-inspired-tree-based priority model
* signalled using HTTP/3 frames

Refining these terms would help in generak IMO, and would probably get
reflected back into the name of this setting.
