Two minor suggestions:
1. Capitalise 'inner' in the section header
2. End the 'Inner TLVs' definition with '... but no Outer TLVs are used'.
Here ' are used' is new text. That makes it symmetric with the previous
sentence and doesn't hint that Outer TLVs may sometime be encapsulated
within TLS records.

I like these changes. They give guidance for handling TLS resumption and
possible authorisation changes the renewed credentials or other provisioned
information may require.

I think so too.

One thing I thought is the case where re-provisioning is a larger task
which begins with TEAP in-band re-provisioning and then continues with, for
example, HTTPS based device update in a special VLAN. That is, RADIUS
Access-Accept assigns a separate virtual LAN for doing the HTTPS part. In
this case the device needs to reconnect, or needs to be disconnected, once
it has finished its re-provisioning over HTTPS. The server must invalidate
any possible TLS resumption which would put the device back to the
(re)-provisioning VLAN.

However, I think this is outside of scope of this draft/RFC and is
something that the device/application and server software vendor must take
care of. The new text in the draft is enough now.
