Hello,

  As can be inferred by my previous posting on EAP-only authentication,
I favor this particular method for mutual authentication.

  I believe this is a general purpose exchange, useful for more than the
narrow focus of EAP-only, does not require extraneous encapsulations or
unnecessary code (ala EAP-only), and is secure regardless of its use
(unlike EAP-only).

  I am committed to working on this as a WG work item. I agree to continue
contributing to the text and (co-)authoring the text. I solicit help, and
support, from those who are interested in this task.

  regards,

  Dan.
