[Ntp] Roughtime, getting started

[Hal Murray <[e-mail]>]

I asked about getting started on the TLS list.  Somebody suggested Roughtime.  
(I think it's been suggested here too, but I don't have a reference.)

So I took a good look at draft 06.

I don't see how it helps.

Here is the key section:

6.4 Validity of Response
  A client MUST check the following properties when it receives a
  response. We assume the long-term server public key is known to the
  client through other means.

If I can distribute valid long-term keys, I can use them to sign the 
certificates for NTS-KE servers and don't need Roughtime to get started.

Am I missing something?
