This question isn't directly applicable to EAP-TLS, but it is related.

  There are multiple EAP methods that use TLS, and presumably all of them will 
enable session resumption.  The question is, what do we do with cross-method 
session resumption?

   i.e. a user starts with EAP-TLS, and then tries to "resume" his session, but 
this time uses TTLS.  It's not clear that anything in the spec forbids or 
prevents this.

  It's not clear if this resumption is an issue, but it should be highlighted.

  The issue is made more difficult by the fact that session resumption is 
usually done at the TLS layer.  This means there is minimal ability for the EAP 
layer to cross-check method types.

  If we do allow it, it should be called out explicitly in the EAP-TLS 
document.  If we don't allow it, we should find a way to forbid it.
