Well, technically, that is incorrect -- just adding a vendor-specific
cipher to 802.11-2007 (11i) will uphold that requirement. Using
different mechanisms like WAPI might run afoul of this check... But
technically WAPI could also use CCMP etc. and then you might have to use
non-zero even for CCMP, so this code would again be wrong.

OTOH, I don't really see a good way to capture this in code...
