Something better. VSAs, even.
Using random fields in random "printable" formats is a bad idea.
RADIUS has the concept of "attributes". These attributes have names,
specific meanings, and well-defined formats. I have no idea why many
vendors are unable to use them.

So define VSAs. Other vendors have. It's not hard.
