This is probably not the definition the rest of us are using. 
Emergency:  Action taken because a key is compromised.  Planned: Action 
taken because its time to do so.  The state of the key data set is 
orthogonal to whether a key change is planned or emergency, but has a 
substantial affect on the actions taken during the key change.
