True mobility and roaming…

OK, I give: how does representing a MAC address is binary vs. ASCII enhance mobility or roaming?

I don’t see any reason why RADIUS should differentiate between 802.16 and 802.11 or any other 802.

Some questions have arisen about the format of the Calling-Station-Id Attribute when used with WiMAX.

Since WiMAX is based on IEEE 802.16, and RFC 3580 applies to IEEE 802 technology, it would seem that the RFC 3580 Calling-Station-Id definition would apply to WiMAX. 

Are there reasons why this would not be the case?
