The document does now support the notion of entities, so it is possible 
for the NAS to send user or NAS location.  What is missing is a way for 
the RADIUS server to request a particular type of location (or state that 
it doesn't care).  

Other standards in this area (such as IEEE 802.11k) do explicitly support 
both NAS and user location, and differentiate between the two, so this is 
a well accepted concept. 

Aside from the carrier scenarios described in the document, there are 
other uses for location information.  For example, there are factories 
keeping track of parts; defense facilities that track the location of 
users accessing the network; AAA products that support "location-aware 
access control".
