 I think Suresh is referring to the MUST as being specific
to SEND-keys only
(meaning, the key could only be derived via SEND-keys
only).

We should have the SEND-keys as a companion protocol to go
with rfc4068bis.
Other protocols MAY similarly devise handover keys (as
Suresh is
suggesting), but the BADF MAC computation is uniform across
such protocols.
