In section 7.5 Failed-AVP, 

7.5  Failed-AVP AVP 

The Failed-AVP AVP (AVP Code 279) is of type Grouped and provides
debugging 
information in cases where a request is rejected or not fully
processed due to 
erroneous information in a specific AVP. The value of the Result-Code
AVP will 
provide information on the reason for the Failed-AVP AVP. 
... 

but... 
Currently, there is no way to enter the two or more Reason Code in
Result-Code  AVP 
and it is difficult to match the Result-Code AVP and Failed-AVP. 
so... 

Existing : 

7.5  Failed-AVP AVP 

      AVP Format 
      <Failed-AVP> ::= < AVP Header: 279 > 
                    1* {AVP} 

Requested change: 

   AVP Format 
    <Failed-AVP> ::= < AVP Header: 279 > 
            1* { 
                      1* {Result-Code AVP}/*Following AVP's Error
Cause Value included*/ 
                          {AVP} 
                  }
