I was catching on this discussion and it occurred to me that
we can 
generalize the following text a bit further:

Does this mean we are ok with a key management system where
compromise 
of two or more authenticators leads to the compromise of
keys help by 
other authenticators?  I think not.

We could reword to say "compromise of one or more
authenticators MUST 
NOT compromise keying material held by the rest of the
authenticators 
within the system"  or something like that.

thanks Bernard,
