Without weighing in on the rest of this debate, I don't think that
"SSLKEYLOGFILE" and it's associated registry should become a generic
carrier for keying material for other protocols. It's not like this is a
complicated format. If those protocols wish to define some expert (assuming
ad arguendo that this is otherwise a good idea and there is consensus,
etc.) then they should publish their own specifications with their own
keywords, even if those just point to this document for the actual details.
