    It is RECOMMENDED that keys be encrypted or otherwise obfuscated
when
    stored internally on a network device supporting this specification.

If obfuscation is what happens more often in practice, maybe mention this
as a fallback from the recommendation, but not make them sound
equivalent?


To be clear -- the current guidance from the security area is to perform this kind of encryption, where you have encrypted material living side-by-side with the key necessary to decrypt it?
