OK. Here is suggested text ("sent from the PaC" is added in the 2nd sentence):
"
EAP messages are carried in PANA-Auth-Request messages.
PANA-Auth-Answer messages are simply used to acknowledge receipt of
the requests. As an optimization, a PANA-Auth-Answer message sent from the
PaC MAY
include the EAP message. This optimization SHOULD NOT be used when
it takes time to generate the EAP message (due to, e.g., intervention
of human input), in which case returning an PANA-Auth-Answer message
without piggybacking an EAP message can avoid unnecessary
retransmission of the PANA-Auth-Request message.
