Jim:

Good question. The current draft allows for multiple request TLV items, but
only says a single Result TLV, indicating the what EAP Success/Failure
result the peer would expect if the requested action is not granted.

I can definitely see the need for the case you cited. If we want to extend
existing design to include individual Result TLVs for the individual request
items, we can do that. But I think this might be more complicated and
unnecessary.  Maybe we can use the mandatory bit in the requested TLVs to
indicate whether ignoring it would cause the failure in the result TLV.

Thoughts?
