An interesting question.

At first, I thought that since the destination assigns the SPIs that
it would make no difference, but I realized afterwards that that is
not the case -- implementations might want to be able to key based
only on destination and SPI. I'd therefore say that we ought to make
it clear in our documents that the SPI space is shared.
