Me neither. To clarify, I mention this not as a suggestion, but to motivate
asking about the type of message. If the only reason the proofs want them
in the handshake bucket rather than the application data bucket is that
they say "handshake" in them then, sure, let's do an inconsequential
re-spelling and move on from this problem.

But presumably something about the messages motivate this key separation
issue and I'd like to know what they are.
