Exactly!  This whole thread has been people arguing against a straw-man.  
DHS never asked for any KSKs or anything.  They're not even mentioned in 
the report.  HSARPA just put up some of the money to fund the drafting of 
the report, as ARPA/DARPA/HSARPA have been funding miscellaneous Internet 
stuff forever.
