  Hmm... I think 8/32-bit numbers would be simpler.

  Maybe... that's up to the ADs,

  Yes.

  <shrug>  Truncating 128 bytes to 112 or 40 bytes would be fine.  The goal is 
to have *something* that people can use.

  Some guidance would still be useful.

  My $0.02 is that the worst thing we could do is to publish EAP-TLS for TLS 
1.3, and to give no guidance for other TLS-based EAP methods.  I have a strong 
preference that *all* TLS-based EAP methods be capable of working with TLS 1.3.

  Maybe this document isn't the place for these updates.  But IMHO, any updates 
to TTLS, FAST, etc. MUST be published simultaneously with this spec.  Otherwise 
implementors will have no guidelines, and TTLS / FAST / PEAP / TEAP will be 
broken for *years*.
