Key-centric versus name-centric identity is The Question, is it not?

I rather doubt that the Administration's push for the NSTIC is
likely to settle in on key-centricity, but might you elaborate
on your preference for it?  I'm sympathetic to it on the grounds
that it directly enables multi-personna and, thus, data segmentation.

If I'm being obtuse, feel free to say so.
