Although it is redundant with RFC4187, It might be worth mentioning in the security considerations section that AT_CHECKCODE protects the attributes in the EAP/AKA-Identity messages once it has be verified by a valid AT_MAC.   This would help clarify that the attributes are protected and at what point they are authenticated.  It might also help remind implementers that they need to implement AT_CHECKCODE.
