I found two that I forgot to include in the last message

1.  When exporting the user-id, does there need to be a way to distinguish
at export time between the different types of ids that are authenticated by
the server?  This does not seem to be an issue on the peer as it will only
do mutual authentication to servers and thus only have server ids, however a
server may authenticate to different types of identities on the peer.  At
the moment we have identified user and machines as types of entities to be
identified, I suppose in the future we could add Ewoks as a different type
of entity that could be identified.  However the export function of user-ids
does not make a distinction between the different types of authenticated
entities.  Should it do so or should it just export user authentications?

2.  Is there a map of TLVs that should not be sent together or need to be
processed in a specific order?  The case I was looking at was for the
Identity TLV and the EAP TLV.  Is there a difference in how a peer should
react for the following?

  Identity TLV (Send me a machine Identity), EAP TLV (Start the EAP type XX)
  EAP TLV (Start EAP type XXX), Identity TLV (Send me a machine Identity)

Or should these two TLVs never occur in a single message?
