Whilst picking through the TEAP RFC7170(bis) section 3.2 I stumbled on:

"TEAP implementations SHOULD support the immediate renegotiation of a TLS 
session to initiate a new handshake message exchange under the protection of 
the current ciphersuite."

This language looks lifted from from the EAP-FAST (RFC4851 section 3.2).

This exists so that for TLS 1.2 (and earlier) you can provide identity privacy 
and mutual authentication during Phase 1.

As TLS 1.3 already provides the identity privacy, I think retaining the SHOULD 
is a good idea for backwards compatible as well as creating minimal changes to 
existing implementations. I do think we should highlight in the various 'Client 
Certificates' sub-sections that now doing the immediate renegotiation is no 
longer necessary.

Thanks
