hi bernard, 
hi all, 

my student udo schilcher has used the eap state machine draft to implement
ikev2, a test program for eap-ikev2 and other students used it for our pana
implementation. 

we think that the eap state machine draft was very helpful and allowed us to
produce a solid implementation within a short timeframe. please move forward
with this document. 

furthemore, we used the eap state machine draft as a template to produce
state machines for nsis protocols (for gimps and the qos nslp). we are
convinced that state machines should be used more often in the ietf
environment since they help implementors and the protocol designers. 

thanks for the good work on the eap state machine!

ciao
hannes
