Hmm...
5.13. Table of Attributes
The following table provides a guide to which attributes may be found
in Accounting-Request packets. No attributes should be found in
Accounting-Response packets except Proxy-State and possibly Vendor-
Specific.
That seems pretty clear. Nothing but Proxy-State && VSA's.

I would like to know what it *means* to have VSA's in an
Accounting-Response. What does the NAS do with them? Log them? Ignore
them? Change it's behavior?
I'm seeing people who insist that they have to put attributes in an
Accounting-Response. Sometimes they claim their NAS requires it. But I
can't get an explanation as to *why*.
