As the current draft editor, let me be clear that there is still some
'scrubbing' the document requires in regards to any references to
extended RADIUS attributes.  The intention is to continue molding the
document be in a clear alignment with existing WG mandates. 

Whether a WG member is comfortable in accepting the current draft (as
opposed to a future draft) to be the basis for a ratified work item is
hopefully a secondary consideration to the primary of whether these
attribute standardization efforts make sense at all.
