--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah@TR-Sys.de>

Section: 3, pg.9

Original Text
-------------
[[  last paragraph on page 9 (extending to page 10): ]]



|  The Access-Accept MAY contain a Reply-Message or Message-

   Authenticator attribute.  It SHOULD NOT contain other attributes.

   The Accounting-Response packets sent in response to a Status-Server

   query SHOULD NOT contain any attributes.  [...]



Corrected Text
--------------
|  The Access-Accept sent in response to a Status-Server query MAY

   contain a Reply-Message or Message-Authenticator attribute.  It

   SHOULD NOT contain other attributes.

   The Accounting-Response packets sent in response to a Status-Server

   query SHOULD NOT contain any attributes.  [...]



Notes
-----
Rationale: Bare "Access-Accept" is potentially misleading.

  The clause needed to properly restrict the scope of the sentence

  has been added in most similar instances of specification text

  in the RFC, but that has been missed here.  So for consistency and

  clarity, the New text once more provides this additional clause --

  as it already appears in the 3rd sentence of this paragraph.
