So I think the biggest problem with having methods *sometimes* add a key to the *local* database, but always add the key to a remote node is Indeterminacies. We are trying to potentially do two things at once, and either one or both can fail.

I strongly believe that the method calls to add a key (or delete it or update it) to our local key storage needs to be a distinct requests... Yes, we only save *one* method call by overloading the functionality into a single call.  But separating  Local operations from Remote operations  keeps it clear, if there is a failure, at exactly which step the failure occurred. The Application is not left wondering if there is an unused key in the local database, or if the remote device now has a key that nobody else does.

Same comment here...  I intended this for this method to modify the local key database only, with no overloaded functionality of sending the update key to one of the potentially hundreds of other nodes.

This method is also intended to modify the state of the keys locally only.  Only after the local phase has been recorded would the phase change be propogated to the wider mesh

I want to be clear that this again only affects the local key database.  We do have the ability to delete Local nodes with the Leave() method.  I want to be clear with this method that again, no communication is made... This simply deletes a Remote Node Device key from the local database.  I included a count parameter so that storage of the device keys could be optimized such that all element unicast addresses are accounted for.  It is 100% legal to send a Device Key encoded message to a non-primary element of a Node, so we might have redundant storages of the device keys under every unicast address, in the local database.
