It requires that each Hot Spot for example understand what to deliver to a
Bronze User or a Gold user etc.....

Like filter id, this just does not scale!

We need a way to explicitly push attributes down to the NAS.  Equally
important is to make sure that the NAS tell us what it can currently honour.
This will alow the home RADIUS to make an appropriate policy decision.
