I'd say that it is at the descretion of the RADIUS server whether to
return the User-Name in the Access-Accept or not.  If it is returned, the
NAS includes it in accounting requests.  If not, it uses the original
User-Name, + Class + Billable Identity if those are available.  I don't
think there's any need for an RFC 3579 errata.
