Translation happens presumably through a mindless, standard
NASREQ mapping. That's sooo much better than hand-coding
everything.

But there are also other Diameter issues. Can you use these
attributes in commands not associated with NASREQ (or anything
that inherits the NASREQ rules). Say, some of the Diameter SIP
operations that don't exist in RADIUS? I guess that was also
what Jouni is saying.

Suggestion: the document should provide guidance in which
Diameter commands (of the existing applications) you can
use them.
