A more practical solution until that's been hashed out is to require an
NTS matched to the NTS-KE.

Maybe Daniel can shed some light on that question, but the fact that a
detached NTS-KE is even considered makes it more likely that this
use-case at least lingered in some heads.

The easiest way of dealing with the "protocol" is having a TLS
connection between the NTS-KE and each NTS.  Its session can be
suspended most of the time and resumed rather than re-opened.
