Section 3.21 says:

For IEEE 802.1X Authenticators, this attribute is used to store the
   Supplicant MAC address in ASCII format (upper case only), with octet
   values separated by a "-".  Example: "00-10-A4-23-19-C0".

It should say:

For IEEE Std 802.1X-2001 authenticators, this attribute is used to store
the Supplicant MAC address, represented as an ASCII character string in
Canonical format (see IEEE Std 802). For example, "00-10-A4-23-19-C0".

Notes:

The IETF Informational RFC needed to specify that the representation of the MAC address is in Canonical Format.

This is the case in the IEEE document 802_1x-2001 which is the corrected text provided.

I would be okay if the authors wanted to use Supplicant MAC address instead of "bridge or Access Point" in the proposed corrected text.
