[Mip4] review of draft-nakhjiri-radius-mip4-01.txt

I read this draft. In general, it seems very useful to
document & standardize the aaa-side of the mobile ipv4
authentication protocols. (Would there be commitment
from pp2 to take this?)

I don't have a lot of comments, it seems pretty straightforward
given the things that we've already defined in other specifications.
I wish the Diameter - RADIUS translation was easier or even
automatic, but I don't see other way around this given that
RFC 4004 was already published.

Some technical comments:

Section 5 description of attributes that already exist
was confusing. Suggest splitting section 5 to new
attributes and instruction for the use of old attributes
parts.

Section 6 needs more details. Maybe ok for an -01, though.

Presumably this draft is still structurally and key-wise
the same as RFC 4004? If no, that would make the
implementation of a RADIUS-Diameter gateway even
harder.

Some editorial nits:

Non-ASCII char. In several places, applies to double quotes
too.

RFC 4004 now.
