I haven't seen a compelling scenario which requires a different
address-pair in each direction.

That said, "initiator decides" effectively means "initiator tells
responder which addresses the responder should use when sending" and may
be silent about what the initiator does when sending -- unless we
require the reciever to reject traffic to/from the wrong address pair.

So I think, given our resolution to #20, #19 becomes almost a local
matter on the initiator.
