[HZ] It helps to export the identities as well as the corresponding
identity types (from the Identity Type TLV). Will add text.

[HZ] We had some discussion in WG and take the design principal of TLV
ordering should not matter. We disallow simultaneous EAP inner methods
and/or with Basic Password Authentication, so rest of the TLVs order
should not matter. If it does matter, it should be a nested TLV, as in
Result TLV and Request-Action TLV. Need to add text to disallow Inner EAP
method with parallel Basic Password Authentication TLV.
