Maybe put the folling warning also more clearly at the beginning of the doc or even in the abstract:
"Plain salting techniques are included for support of existing
   databases. scrypt and PBKDF2 techniques are RECOMMENDED for new
   password database deployments."

Thanks for the secdir discussion - it was thorough and lead
to good changes being made. (It took me longer to read that
thread than the document:-)

I do think that some of the text doesn't flow as well as a
result of all those edits though, maybe a pass to improve
that would be good. (Though it is clear enough now for
implementers I think.)

Figure 1 means that implementing this requires changes to the
innards of your EAP-PWD implementation. It might be nice to a
random implementer (if there are some) to provide that hint
by saying this updates 7664.

I like Mirja's suggestion - that RECOMMENDED is a bit buried
right now. (Even if the main concern here is not new DB
records.) I'd also note that it's possible to switch to a new
alg on a per-record and not per-DB basis, if one's
implementation allows, so you could also encourage that.
(Well, unless EAP-PWD prevents it somehow but I'd be
surprised if it did.)
