   Priority: 1 should fix

   Section: 2.4

   Rationale/Explanation of issue:

section 2.4 reads:  "AMSK Name

      AMSKs, if any, may be named by the concatenation of the string
      "AMSK", key label, application data (see Appendix F), and EMSK
      Name."

However, I think it is sound practice to name keys. Since AMSK are new, 
we shouldn't be bothered with legacy reasons. Hence, why not make this 
AMSK naming "mandatory"



Requested change

Replace the previous text by
"AMSK Name

AMSKs, if any, are named by concatenating the string
      "AMSK", key label, application data (see Appendix F), and EMSK
      Name."
