Ideally, the RFC4005 bis will contain this sentence, with an explanation
of why it would not work.
Personnally, I still don't see why is that. I agree that in a few cases
there are untranslatable attributes, but then:
- as long as the Diameter server is aware of a RADIUS end point, it can
avoid these attributes.
- in any case if we require to send this large data, RADIA will not help.

But, now the draft has been accepted as a WG item, so I guess there is
little interest in continuing this argument ^^.

Best regards,
Sebastien.
