Standardizing multiple tunnel-based methods seems like a bad idea for
many reasons.

I agree that standardizing i18n in every document will lead to
duplication of work (and duplication of discussions and the potential
for mistakes), but placing too specific requirements on all future EAP
documents today is similar to placing too specific crypto requirements
on all future EAP documents today.  The algorithms are evolving and
there needs to be some element of agility in the requirements.  If there
is, any mistakes in this area can be fixed later on.
