  We have "something" implemented today as TEAPv1.  Whatever it is, it's 
shipped by multiple vendors on tens of millions of devices.   Plus, there are 
multiple other vendors planning on shipping TEAP support in Q2 2023.  

  We can rev TEAP, but we can't change existing implementations.  And any new 
rev will be deployed in the time frame (at best) of 12-18 months.

  If we document 7170bis now "as implemented", that can be done in a short time 
frame.  We then have the freedom to do whatever we want with TEAPv2.  But I'm 
wary of not documenting TEAPv1, and I'm wary of delaying that documentation in 
the interest of doing a TEAPv2.

  I'm not even sure what we'd do for TEAPv2.  There isn't much point in 
changing the key derivations.  The current one is arguably suboptimal, but it 
works.  I wouldn't see a need to change it for something "better" in a TEAPv2.

  So I'd like to know what would be in TEAPv2, and what issues there would be 
if we just documented TEAPv1 "as implemented".
