Section 5.3,pg.26 says:

   In contrast to the EAP-TLS server, the EAP-TLS peer may not have
|  Internet connectivity.  Therefore, the EAP-TLS server SHOULD provide
   its entire certificate chain minus the root to facilitate certificate
   validation by the peer.  The EAP-TLS peer SHOULD support validating
   the server certificate using RFC 3280 [RFC3280] compliant path
   validation.

It should say:

   In contrast to the EAP-TLS server, the EAP-TLS peer may not have
|  Internet connectivity (at the time of the EAP-TLS exchange).
   Therefore, the EAP-TLS server SHOULD provide its entire certificate
   chain minus the root to facilitate certificate validation by the
   peer.  The EAP-TLS peer SHOULD support validating the server
   certificate using RFC 3280 [RFC3280] compliant path validation.
