But on key management, I am not sure I agree with you.  Yes, ECDHE
is a part of key management, but I would not think it on its own as

management or you do not, so 'authenticated key management'
seems to me .. well, not real.  I look in vain for it in RFC2401
or RFC2828.
One tends to distinguish between key management and key agreement.
I've not previously seen ephemeral key agreement described as key
management.  I don't think there is substantive ambiguity with
respect to the meaning of key management in the draft.
I've probably read (and written) more on key management over the past 35+ years,
so let's just say that we disagree on this point.
