Ha!  Someone else already made this suggestion, I see.  :-)

OK, I've had enough fun with this thread.  It's clear that the authors
are well past the point of reasonable accommodation on the protocol
design.  It's been shipped already.

Is it possible to put some form of notation on the RFC when published
that indicates that the usage in question is "deprecated"?  Deprecated,
meaning that it exists in the deployed DMU implementation, and therefore
won't be changed, but that it's a REALLY BAD IDEA (tm) and should not be
leveraged or reused in any other RADIUS protocol "extension".
