I will point out, again, that the home server does not need CUI to do
this, since Class has all the necessary properties and is supported now.
Further, I maintain that home servers SHOULD NOT use CUI for this as
unless the NAS/proxy has included a null CUI in the Access-Request there
is no reason to expect that CUI is supported.

The only justification for CUI as a new attribute is the case where the
NAS or proxy owner demands an identifier that can be tied to the home
user.
