That same RFC 2865, in section 5, states:

     string    1-253 octets containing binary data (values 0 through
               255 decimal, inclusive).  Strings of length zero (0)
               MUST NOT be sent; omit the entire attribute instead.

With that, Ipv6 Prefix, Route options, Auth-IPv6-Prefix-User-ID, etc
would be pretty much covered by using the string term.

With all due respect, the String data type is just a string of  
undistinguished octets.   While you may conceptually overlay it with a  
structure, i.e define sub-fields, that action creates a new data  
type.  In other words, the String type is just a string.  You may  
lament the fact that RADIUS, as defined in RFCs up through 2865, has  
no method to formally define structured data, but the fact is that it  
has none.
