so I assume we are talking about the (artificial) case where a single
host provides both Relay and Rendezvous service, and is communicating
with a single registered Client? It's the same control channel, so I
don't see any need to have different HMAC keys for different messages
since it's still the same two hosts. Or maybe I misunderstood your
scenario, so please elaborate?
