  That's good.

  I put that in, in part because of EAP-CREDS.  In part because I'm not sure 
that updates fall within the bounds of provisioning / onboarding.

  i.e. I already have something, and I can get onto the network.  How often do 
I refresh those credentials?  What happens if my authorization changes?  How do 
I get told if my credentials are withdrawn?

  Perhaps this could better be described as policies and signalling for refresh 
and updates of provisioned data.  The act of doing the update is just 
provisioning.  Knowing when / where / how / why to do that update isn't quite 
part of the provisioning process.
