The server can use the PskIdentity in the PreSharedKeyExtension to
differentiate between an offline PSK used for authentication vs. a PSK
established via NewSessionTicket.
There should be no problem here, and the statement
" Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication SHALL NOT be used except
for resumption. "
should be updated to clarify.
