Strictly speaking it might lead to use of EAP keys in
different applications, but at least those EAP keys would be
derived in a standardized manner.

But in any case, even that might lead to problems.
There might be a number of proprietary ways to key
a standard application FOO.

I think Specification Required would be appropriate.
Maybe even something stronger.
