   The RADEXT WG is in the last stages of publishing the updated NAI
document:

   This defines a standard for "username@realm" handling, where "realm"
is a fully qualified hostname.  It would be useful to reference that
from the saslprepbis document.

What kind of reference do you have in mind? Perhaps a pointer from Section 3.4 ("Application-Layer Constructs")?

   The NAI is used for EAP (802.1X), AAA, 3GPP, and international roaming.

   The NAI is a subset of the "userpart" defined in Section 3.1 of the
saslprepbis document, in that it *requires* "username@realm", and the
"realm" part is a fully qualified domain name.

   Hmm... I've just noticed that the ABNF in the NAI allows for IP
addresses in the "realm" portion.  That's not the intent.  I'll have to
go fix that.

   I'd like to be sure that the NAI document is compatible with (or at
least not in violent disagreement with) the precis work.

I've just reviewed the NAI specification. Although it does directly not address issues such as width mapping, case mapping, and Unicode normalization (seemingly inheriting its handling of those issues from RFC 5335 for the username portion and from IDNA2008 for the realm portion), as far as I can see it is compatible with saslprepbis.
