Section 3.2.1 -- terminological mismatch

Only in this section, the RFC uses the spelling "SessionID" (4 x);
throughout the remainder of the text, "Session ID" is used.


Section 3.2.3 -- typo

In the 3rd text line of Section 3.2.3, on page 12,
the RFC test:

             ... contains a empty Session ID
should say:
             ... contains an empty Session ID

In the first line of the second paragraph of Section 3.7,

Section 6 -- inconsistent use of established terms

The RFC 2434 requirements terms are spelled inconsistently.
For uniformity, at the bottom of page 36,

           ... based on specifications required ...
                        ^            ^ ^
should be:
           ... based on Specification Required ...

and in the fourth line on page 37,

           ... on a specification required basis ...
                    ^             ^

           ... on a Specification Required basis ...


Section 7.4.1 -- typos

|  is unauthenticated an may not have any relevance to the authenticated
   identity.  EAP-FAST implementations should not attempt to compare any
   identity disclosed in the initial cleartext EAP Identity response
|  packet with those Identities authenticated in Phase 2
                                                        ^
should say:
                        v
|  is unauthenticated and may not have any relevance to the authenticated
   identity.  EAP-FAST implementations should not attempt to compare any
   identity disclosed in the initial cleartext EAP Identity response

It should say:
