While the original text is certainly misleading at best, the new text is not
a lot better since is leaves out the Accounting-Input-Packets and
Accounting-Output-Packets AVPs.  I think that a better correction would be
something like this:

   If the Accounting-Input-Octets, Accounting-Input-Packets,
   Accounting-Output-Octets, or Accounting-Output-Packets AVPs are
   present, they SHOULD be translated to the corresponding RADIUS
   attributes.  However, if the value of the Accounting-Input-Octets AVP
   or Accounting-Output-Octets AVP does not fit
   within a 32-bit RADIUS attribute, the RADIUS Acct-Input-
   Gigawords and Acct-Output-Gigawords Attributes must be used.
