Hi,

the draft states:

 user

   The username.  It is encoded in [UTF-8].  It is optional in this
   packet, depending upon the class of authentication.

The old expired draft from 1997 states:

user

   The username. It is optional in this packet.


Somehow, an explicit encoding requirement made it into the new draft. It's
good to be explicit when designing a protocol; but when it comes
to documenting deployed reality it's important to be sure that
this really *is* the deployed reality.

Are you sure / how sure are you that deployed reality agrees with this change 
of wording?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
