Florent, who wishes that a standard replacement for EAP-MD5 be drafted 
(not especially EAP-PSK which is only a proposal to stimulate the 
community ;-))

P.S : (Abstract of the draft) The purpose of this draft is to gives a broad picture of the existing proposed EAP methods, with a focus on shared key EAP methods. Indeed, it is the belief of the author that a standard replacement for EAP-MD5 (that is deprecated due to security reasons) is needed. By listing the existing shared key EAP methods, the goal is to gather consensus that such a multiplication of methods is detrimental and that a single method retaining the best of the existing proposals could and should be drafted.
