If I may offer an interpretation of the housley criteria, I believe "compromise of a node" is, for instance, someone grabbing an access point or a router from a coffee shop wall. At the time people were just doing central office products or cellular networks with large cell size with relatively good physical security the domino effect was not an issue. It is now, in the world where a lot of the equipment is out there in the field.

To give you an example of the kind of things that would be undesirable, lets assume that a context transfer protocol that allows a router/access node to request the context from other devices in the network. Now, a compromise of *one* such device would allow the attacker to retrieve any or all contexts from the entire network. This would be bad.
