I can certainly take the rest of the text, but this makes me uncomfortable.

I noted previously that the check is simple:
  isOK = isForwardSecrecyCapable && !isStream && !isBlock

That statement would introduce some potential ambiguity based on the
potential for a future RFC.

Though I can live with it if that is the consensus.
