Suggest to change element name to be a request and response style. 

The current naming style (e.g. ClientHello, ServerFInished) is specific
to  certain SSL and key exchange protocol flavor. Keyprov will be mostly
implemented as a web service. When we use REST, SOAP, or even HTTP
natively to support the service, it is better to reflect the "key prov"
name space in element name. For example, KeyProvRequest is more
intuitive over ClientHello in a web service exchange. 

As a reference, SAML uses AuthnQuery, AttributeQuery, AuthzDecisionQuery
etc. 
that contains the target data to get in the element name. XKMS uses 
verb "Register" / "Revoke" when handling a certificate enrollment and
revocation.

I suggest some names like the following in the right hand. The changes
are:

Trigger  ->       SharedSecretTriggerRequest
ClientHello ->    SharedSecretInitRequest
ServerHello ->    SharedSecretInitResponse
ClientNonce ->    SharedSecretFinalRequest
ServerFinished -> SharedSecretFinalResponse
 
or
 
Trigger  ->       KeyProvTriggerRequest
ClientHello ->    KeyProvInitRequest
ServerHello ->    KeyProvInitResponse
ClientNonce ->    KeyProvFinalRequest
ServerFinished -> KeyProvFinalResponse

Thoughts?
