In fact, the IETF was on track to standardize EAP methods back as recently 
as 2001, within the PPPEXT WG.  It was as part of that program that EAP-TLS 
was first published as an Experimental RFC, and EAP-TTLSv0 was put on the 
standards track.

The decision to remove standards track EAP methods from the PPPEXT WG 
charter was made by the IESG, not by the authors of EAP methods, or the EAP 
WG chairs.  As I recall, there was considerable opposition to that decision 
at the time.
