Hi, Rhys

   I agree with the point that credential re-use is more accurate. If 
someone prefers to use the result of network access authentication, the 
view of credential re-use is OK. If does not, one can choose to initiate 
another authentication  for higher security, it also works. It MAY depend 
on local policy.

I object to this going into the use case doc until we resolve the
question about authentication vs credential re-use.
I want wording that is neutral on that subject or that favors credential
re-use.


OK - you're right, it's important that this is made clear in the use case.

Yinxing, what does the federated cross-layer idea that you're promoting 
actually do in terms of reuse of an authentication instance versus reuse 
of a credential to create new authentications? We need to make sure the 
description is accurate, and when it's accurate, we then need to make sure 
that there's consensus in this group that this (whatever your ideas are) 
is a good thing.
