I'm not commenting on SIPREC or how it chooses to handle RTP keying, as 
I'm not overly familiar with either. I'm only responding to the comment 
regarding EKT.

As has been pointed out, this citation should be 
draft-ietf-avtcore-srtp-ekt, which is far more recent. EKT forms a 
cornerstone of the proposed solutions for the PERC work that's been 
discussed in DISPATCH recently. If the PERC work moves forward, it will 
almost certainly drive work around EKT, substantially increasing its 
chance of publication.
