I would word this as the KEY RR "SHOULD" be restricted to DNSSEC - as
opposed to MUST.  The only problem with the KEY RR holding application keys
is the limitation on protocol numbers and the flags.  It's possible to
squeeze other keys in there, but I wouldn't recommend it.  (It's not like a
KEY RR is *unable* to hold application keys.)
