I have.  Would you bother dropping invalid assumptions?

I'm familiar with Cisco's guest-vlan capability.  This is fine if you're using 
Cisco wireless gear, and it would make part of this exercise easier.  A major 
objective is to implement a solution that is as vendor-independent as 
possible and maintains similar behavior in wired and wireless environments.  
There is a variety of existing non-Cisco wired equipment that is capable of 
802.1x, but does not have guest-vlan support.
