RFC 2284bis-04 straw man is now available at:

http://www.drizzle.com/~aboba/EAP/draft-ietf-pppext-rfc2284bis-04.txt

Current open and resolved issues are at:

http://www.drizzle.com/~aboba/EAP/eapissues.html

Here are some of the issues it proports to resolve:

Issue #11 : no threat model

  Rewrote the security considerations section. 

Issue #12: no support for localization

  UTF-8 is now required in displayable messages, including Notification
  and Identity-Request. 

Issue #17: Negotiation

  This is a good idea and probably should be handled via creation of a new
  EAP method. It therefore should be handled as a separate document
  and does not require changes to RFC 2284bis. Marked as a Reject.
