[RADIATOR] dictionary entries for Ascend conflict with IANA assigned ones

Dear all

The standard radiator dictionary file specifies at least a pair of
invalid entries sharing the same ID.
Apparently, Ascend defines a set of attributes on the global  (IANA
assigned) range.

ATTRIBUTE    X-Ascend-FCP-Parameter            119    string -
conflicts with Digest-Domain
ATTRIBUTE    X-Ascend-Modem-PortNo            120    integer -
conflicts with Digest-Stale
ATTRIBUTE    X-Ascend-Modem-SlotNo            121    integer -
conflicts with Digest-HA1
ATTRIBUTE    X-Ascend-Modem-ShelfNo            122    integer -
conflicts with SIP-AOR
ATTRIBUTE    X-Ascend-Call-Attempt-Limit        123    integer -
conflicts with Delegated-IPv6-Prefix

(Possibly more. See
http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types/radius-types.xml for
reference)

These entries show up on the dictionary.ascend file (which makes
sense, some people might still be using equipment with the "invalid
ID" Ascend attributes) but for the rest of the crowd deploying IPv6
(for instance), it takes a few hits at the standard dictionary file to
comment out the "old" lines, as these entries still show up there.

I was wondering if this could be fixed (or at least documented) on the
next releases.

Thanks
