For your information: Pasi, Bernard, and myself published a new draft, draft-arkko-roamops-rfc2486bis-00.txt which is an update of the original NAI specification. It provides a few corrections, clarifications, and support for a couple of new features such as privacy and international character sets. It even touches upon network selection feature discussed in EAP WG by talking about the bang syntax. Feedback appreciated. Do folks think a bis version makes sense? Comments on content? Missed corrections? New functions make sense? Note that strictly speaking, there is no official home at the IETF for this discussion, so if we generate lengthy discussions based on this I'll promise to create a new list for the purpose and not disturb the AAA, AAAEXT or EAP WGs. Full list of modifications: o International character set support has been added for both usernames and realms. o Username privacy support has been added. o A requirement to support NAI length of at least 253 octets has been added, and compatibility considerations among NAI lengths in this specification and various AAA protocols are discussed. o The mediating network syntax and its implications have been fully described and not given only as an example. Note that this syntax is not intended to be a full solution to network discovery and selection needs as defined in [draft-ietf-eap-netsel-problem]. Rather, it is intended as a clarification of RFC 2486. It could also be used as a component in approaches such as [draft-adrangi]. o The realm BNF entry definition has been changed to avoid an error (infinite recursion) in the original specification. o The x and special BNF entries have been clarified.
