Of course not.  Public -> private conversions are supposed to be
computationally intractable.  

As for the opposite, private -> public, I'm of the opinion that
clients shouldn't expect any relation between the key a SVK is
inserted with and the key it needs to be requested with.  The node
returns the request key when the insertion completes, and I think that
should be used.  I believe that clients shouldn't dissect the insert
key and try to put together a request key before seeing what key the
node says to request.
