Description of issue: Typo, (presumably) incorrect phrasing
Submitter name: Glen Zorn
Submitter email address: gwz@cisco.com
Date first submitted: 08 Feb 06
Document: ieee-802
Comment type: E
Priority: 1
Section: 6
Rationale/Explanation of issue: Paragraph 1 says: "Since this document
describes the use of RADIUS for purposes of authentication,
authorization, and accounting in IEEE 802.1X-nabled networks, it is
vulnerable to all of the threats that are present in other RADIUS
applications. For a discussion of these  threats, see [RFC2607],
[RFC3162], [RFC3579], and [RFC3580]."  Are there threats present in
RADIUS applications?  Shouldn't we eradicate these things instead of
referencing them? ;-) 

Requested change: 
Change "IEEE 802.1X-nabled" to "IEEE 802.1X-enabled"

Re-word the paragraph to have the correct meaning; suggest "Since this
document describes the use of RADIUS for purposes of authentication,
authorization, and accounting in IEEE 802.1X-enabled networks, it is
vulnerable to the same threats as other RADIUS applications. For a
discussion of these  threats, see [RFC2607], [RFC3162], [RFC3579], and
[RFC3580]."
