  I'll take a deeper look at your messages and respond next week.

  In short, if anyone is confused by the text, it needs updating.

  I tried to explain reasons before describing "how to" actions.  I feel this 
gives motivation to the actions.  Putting things the other way around IMHO 
leads to questions of "Why the heck are these steps so complicated", followed 
only later by "oh, they're to work around all kinds of crazy things".

  There are multiple interoperable TEAP implementations in the wild.  At this 
point, I think the document should reflect shipping code.  If that means we 
later decide to change key derivations and issue TEAPv2, then we can do that.  
But the most important thing is to document functionality.

  The downside here is that I've spent significant efforts trying to understand 
existing deployed functionally.  I still don't have a clear picture of what 
everyone does. The  main unknown is  the EMSK Compound-MAC.

  I suspect the answer is that everyone uses the MSK Compound-MAC, and ignores 
the EMSK Compound-MAC.  If so, it needs to be documented.
