Hmmm, I was thinking that the scope could be broader than that. There
are key management protocols that try to re-use the AAA framework, some
just for transport and others for more than that. Many of these may
start with a PSK and define derivation of keys needed for the specific
application, but then use AAA for transport of the exchange and
generated keys. 

Is there a reason why this document would not be applicable to such
scenarios?
