I would agree that "versioning" is not a good idea.  However, as I 
understand it, EAP-TTLSv0 is the only deployed version of TTLS; v1 has never 
been implemented.   So currently there is no versioning issue with TTLS, and 
if possible, it would be best if the IETF would not create such a problem.

It is not clear to me that EAP-TTLS needs "versioning" in order to enable 
addition of new features in a backwards compatible way, since it already 
supports a TLV-based extension mechanism.
