Hi all,

I'm marking 280 as reject, as it is a clone of issue 277 which has been
handled.

Issue #280
Submitter name: Sebastian Zander
Submitter email address: [email-masked]
Date first submitted: February 11th, 2002
Reference: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/aaa-wg/msg02998.html
Document: base-08
Comment type: T
Priority: 1
Section: 9.5, 10.2 
Rationale/Explanation of issue: 

Section 9.5 of base-08 reads: 
"In all accounting records the Session-Id and User-Name AVPs MUST be present."

The Diameter client may not know the user's identity. Therefore there can not be a
MUST for including it. Furthermore there is some inconsistency in the draft since the 
User-Name AVP is already marked optional in section 9.7.1 and 9.7.2 but mandatory
in section 10.2.

Requested change: 

Section 9.5 should be changed to:
"In all accounting records the Session-Id AVP MUST be present. The User-Name AVP 
MUST be present if it is available to the Diameter client."

The table in section 10.2 should be changed so that User-Name is optional.
