Oh.
Now that makes sense. I re-read Marcin's post.

I think he wants to create a key using openssl and wrap it with the SRK.
  Reasonable task.

I think he's doing the wrapping on the client.  Sounds OK.

I think his "machine with TPM" is not the client, since he says he's
sending the wrapped client key __to__ the machine with TPM.

I don't think so.  I think he wants to import and externally generated
private key into a TPM.

The AIK process is for a TPM generated key.  He says he wants to
generate the key with openssl, not within the TPM.
