I think that QoS can be thought of as a service, which a user may
need to be authorized for. This can be related to accounting, in a
way, for example, if a person's service subscription supports the
service or not.

I think that is something that needs more discussion.  I would like to
see some sort of basic 'requirements' layed out for QoS.  Nothing
in great detail, but a good overview of what one expects from QoS/
AAA interaction.
