  To be clear: they don't need consecutive RFC numbers.  But it will be 
absolutely a disaster if EAP-TLS is published, and then 18 months later "TLS 
1.3 for other methods" is published.

  It makes zero sense to publish TLS 1.3 for EAP-TLS, and then to tell all of 
the other EAP methods "too bad, you're not getting updates".  People will want 
to use TLS 1.3 for other methods, and they will ask the very good question as 
to why the IETF punted on the problem.

  If there is no standard for TLS 1.3 for other methods, the customers *will* 
demand one, and implementors *will* create one.  At that point, the IETF will 
have ceded change control for those EAP methods over to those implementors.
