  I took a quick look.  It is related.  It addresses a problem people have been 
ignoring in EAP-TLS implementations. :(

  i.e. high load systems sometimes require multiple servers for load-balancing. 
 Right now, the common practice is to just copy the server certificate to each 
machine.  That works, but it's imperfect.

  This draft would allow each server to have it's own certificate, while still 
allowing resumption across different servers.

  It may be worth discussing the issues EMU has been having, too.  e.g. There's 
nothing *in principle* that prevents a client from authenticating via EAP-TLS, 
and then using that TLS data to "resume" an HTTPS connection.

  That may be surprising to people.
