Hmm... In 802.1X, the EAP-Request/Identity is sent by the authenticator, 
which, in a scenario with multiple home authentication servers and 
realms, does not necessarily know which home server expects which 
encoding. A negotiation would be very nice, but I doubt it can work that 
way in a 802.1X deployment.

Greetings,

Stefan
