I think it might be a good idea to specify that the close_notify is always
sent when the TLS channel is closed.  I was thinking that if we really
wanted a content on the EAP Response, then it be reasonable to have the
client respond with a close_notify as well.

  I agree.  I'm happy to change the implementations to send "close notify".

methods that do need to keep the connection open? i.e. PEAP/EAP-TTLS/TEAP

  When those methods send application data, they don't need to do anything
else.

  When those methods use fast reconnect, they don't send application data.
So the other EAP methods should also send "close notify" in that case.
