If 'A' is the VAAA & 'B' is the HAAA, translation is impossible anyway
unless A respects the RADIUS rules WRT AVP & message length.  IIRC, though,
we're talking about the opposite case, where 'B' is the VAAA & 'A' is
transitioning from RADIUS to Diameter.  This implies that there _is_ a
RADIUS server in the 'A' realm (otherwise it would not be in transition) so
I fail to see why the RADIA approach wouldn't work...
