Ambiguous how? The RFC seems pretty specific to me; the field is NOT to 
be interpreted by the NAS, is generated in the Access-Accept and sent in 
Accounting-Request - i.e. "it's local to the radius server, do what you 
like with it".

That's one (common) use. There are others e.g. I've used it to signal to 
the accounting server the type of NAS so that the exact method for 
kicking a session is known purely from the SQL accounting info.
