When going down this road, it's difficult to tell where you should stop. 
The first step would be splitting PSK and PKI into two different EAP
types.  The problem is that the argument for doing the first split can be
recursively applied until we have a different EAP type code for every
EAP-TLS ciphersuite.

I think the point of EAP-level vs TLS-level credential negotiation is
valid from a protocol standpoint, but of insignificant importance in
real-world deployments.  For example, I've yet to encounter an 11i network
that supports more than a single EAP type for authentication.

Are we trying to solve a non-existant problem?  Are there *real-world*
scenarios (i.e. something someone has actually encountered, and not a
hypothetical corner case) where this would be a *real* issue?
