Of course, this does nothing for deployments that don't use PKIX or
Kerberos V.  We can do something like this for all trusted third-party
distributed authentication systems.  But for simple pre-shared key (PSK)
and simpler schemes (e.g., AUTH_SYS) there's nothing we can do: the
client and server will have to agree on a DOI and label encodings a
priori.
