Someone pointed out to me once that a pleasant side effect of
separated keys was that in some places, the Big Scary Gov't could
force you to reveal an encryption key, but not an authentication key.
If you used the same key for both, then you are out of luck.

(IANAL, YMMV, and I don't recall where "some places" are.)
