This discussion does need to stop. 

The RADEXT WG has already discussed this issue extensively, and come to
consensus.  Re-design of the RADIUS attribute format (as originally advocated
in the "Design Guidelines" document) was discussed and rejected.
"Diameter in RADIUS" proposals were discussed and rejected.
The consensus of the WG has been to extend the RADIUS attribute format in
backward compatible manner, and that is a requirement in the RADEXT WG
charter.

Since other IETF documents have a dependency on attribute extension, we need to
get on with it.

Perhaps the quickest way to do that is to bring the document to WG last
call, and focus on addressing the last call comments from this point forward.
