In this verse, it is also possible to see EN hUYISTOIS as being in
contrast to EPI GHS, hence
  Glory in highest [places] to God, and on earth peace among
  people of EUDOKIAS.
In addition, my preferred interpretation of EUDOKIA is something
like "kindly purpose," so I get "among people of kindly purpose"
(going with the genitive reading).  Clearly, the kindly purpose
could be either God's or that of the people themselves, but I
think that having it be that of the people is a more natural
reading.
Regards,
j.v.
