I just wanted to make sure that the mail list had at least the basics of
what I mentioned in the f2f today

1.  The document does not appear to have an indicator that the EMSK was or
was not used to generate a confirmation value.  I have not done a final
check that this is true but I did try and find it a couple of times

2.  The flags on the outer packet need to be defined a bit better.
   a)  is the S bit set only on the first fragment of the first message or
on all fragments of the first message
   b)  are the two length bits set only on the first message in  a fragment
sequence or can they be on any of the messages in a fragment sequence (but
the values must then be the same in all fragment messages)
   c)  Can the O bit be set only in the first piece of a fragment, or could
it be in the last one without being in any previous one
   d)  Should the L bit never be set on a non-fragmented message since it is
redundant

3.  There needs to be a signaling mechanism when running inner EAP messages
to say that
  a) that this is a reliable transport and therefore there should be
no-retries
  b) If a packet is dropped on the floor by somebody, then some type of
signaling mechanism needs to be created to signal this to the other party.
Also there should be text saying that re-sending the message does not
necessarily make sense as the packet would probably just be re-dropped again
  c) There needs to be some type of policy on the server for what to do for
either failing or continuing a validation - for example should a new EAP
method be tried in this case.
