Hmm..  i was looking at the byte ids for keytypes and yes, SSK would have
the same byte id as SVK (0x0201), while KSK actually gets its own byte
id (0x0202).  I would have expected KSKs to be identified and treated
exactly the same as an SVK, down to the byte id, making them a purely
client side abstraction.  But they are in fact recognized specifically
by the network..  seems odd.
