It seems to me that the Key Recovery activity means that someday someone
will propose a cipher suite that implements key recovery.

Some people will claim that's brilliant, and some will claim it's massively
brain-dead.  I'm sure we'll have a lively debate.

For now, I think we should simply add this item to the "proposed discussion
items post-first-draft" list.
