Looking again at the ASCII art I removed, it doesn't appear to me to be
what you're asking for anyway; it it's necessary, it will take awhile

Here's a first cut:

OLD:
   To provide better deployment scalability, there should be no
   requirement for co-location of the HOKEY server and AAA servers or
   proxies.  Separation of these entities may cause problems with
   routing, but allows flexibility in deployment and implementation.

NEW:
   To provide better deployment scalability, there should be no
   requirement for co-location of entities proving handover keying
   services (e.g., ER servers) and AAA servers or proxies.  Separation
   of these entities may cause problems with routing, but allows greater
   flexibility in deployment and implementation.
