  That's a problem.  As Bernard said, 4282 mandates behavior which *no
one* implements.  Anyone implementing 4282 will be incompatible with all
known RADIUS systems.

  I think the goal of abfab is to be interoperable with existing RADIUS
roaming systems.

  Short story: AAA systems shouldn't mangle the NAI.

  4282 demands NAI mangling, which is bad.

  Then we have a problem.  The draft conflicts with real-world practice.

  That's pretty much what is said by 4282bis.

  And interoperability with RADIUS.
