mumble.

it does not solve the matter of the zorn appeal (but seems to assume that 
DynAuth will be standards-tracked, since it refers it - that's fine with 
me).

worse, it leaves the status of the numbers in 2882 unclear (and unlisted).

off-the-top-of-my-head suggestion for a resolution, since this document 
will be a standards action:


add a table, referencing RFC 2882, that says:

This document reserves the following packet type numbers, defined in [RFC 
2882], and instructs IANA to list them in the registry of packet types:


        6 Accounting Status
                 (now Interim Accounting [5])
        7 Password Request
        8 Password Ack
        9 Password Reject
        10 Accounting Message

        21 Resource Free Request
        22 Resource Free Response
        23 Resource Query Request
        24 Resource Query Response
        25 Alternate Resource Reclaim Request
        26 NAS Reboot Request
        27 NAS Reboot Response

        29 Next Passcode
        30 New Pin
        31 Terminate Session
        32 Password Expired
        33 Event Request
        34 Event Response

        50 IP Address Allocate
        51 IP Address Release

These have no meaning defined by an IETF standards-track protocol, but are 
reserved until an IETF standards-track protocol defines a meaning for them.
They will not be handed out in response to new requests until the set of 
numbers is exhausted.
This is being done to avoid interoperability problems with software that 
implements nonstandard RADIUS extensions that are or have been in use on 
the Internet.

Note that codes 40-44, which are also listed in [RFC 2882], are defined in 
[DynAuth].
