RE: Scope of key discovery draft

Thanks, Mark. I have another use case of named origin-specific keys.

The only difference, as the name above suggests, is that these keys are not pre-provisioned; they are created on-demand for later use. This is similar to native crypto API behavior. A key is created and stored if it doesn't exist, and is retrieved if it is already there.
