Just one correction from a little birdie on my shoulder... (my brain is
mush from having a newborn baby again)

We are not using the extra key, since the TLV fields are inband within
OTR. No need to double encrypt. This also means the work is not specific
to OTRv3.

We had discussed using the extra key for out of band transfer, using one
of the standard XMPP mechanisms, but so far, using the TLV method seems
to be working amazingly well.
