Section 4:
The following text does not parse
   The RADIUS SAML binding defined by this binding Section 5 uses two
   attributes to convey SAML assertions and protocol messages
   [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os] respectively.  

I think it would be more clear if we move the reference after
respectively.
I don't think it's right to say that more and reserved are ignored.
More for example will be set often and reserved should be handled as in
RFC 6929.

Section 5:
"A SAML Responder that refuses to perform a message exchange with the
SAML requester MUST silently discard the request"

Please clarify we mean ignore the attribute, not drop the entire RADIUS
packet on the floor.
It may well be that we generate an access reject as a result, but silent
discard at the radius level is not really what we want.

Section 5.3.1

Isn't the AAA server a SAML consumer of an authentication request?
If so, it seems like it's more realistic for it to apply policy based on
the NAS identity rather than the NAI realm as described in the text.
I wonder whether requester and responder might be better than issuer and
consumer in this section.

old:
A digitally signed request alone is not sufficient.
new:
A digitally signed request alone is not sufficient.  A AAA entity can
include a SAML message that it observes that is never intended by the
issuing SAML entity for this AAA session.

How exactly would one include a realm identifier in metadata?  That is,
is there well defined way to name a realm in SAML?

Section 7.3.1`:
Is this request in the initial access-accept?  Every access-accept?

Section 7.3.3:
Wait.  You're saying that my RADIUS server MUST look inside the SAML
message and if a certain attribute is present go change my EAP state
machine?

I don't think anyone will ever implement that.
Also, how does it interact with semi-long-term elements like Kerberos
TGTs or TEAP tickets?

Section 7.3.4:

Is the simple system model inside or outside the scope of this profile?
This also (and more importantly) applies to the requirements for the
response.

Ah, I see that this is handled later.

There are still a lot of todos.
