It sounds like we have agreed to further develop the text on channel 
bindings.  Can someone supply text?

Issue 325: Channel Bindings

Section: 1.3, 1.4
Rationale/Explanation of issue:
Section 1.3

There are two styles of channel bindings that may be supported by EAP
methods. The text in this section describes exportable channel bindings.
There is also the approach where the bindings are non exportable.  In
this case the method does a binary comparison of the channel bindings or
hash of the channel bindings and fails if the result does not match.  I
can see the possibility of a method supporting both styles.  Should we
include both?

Section 1.4

Exportable channel binding are references in this section,
non-exportable ones are not.  If we make changes to this affect above
then we should change it here as well.
