Are you sure about this? My documentation for 4.1.3 on F32 states


-c, --key-context=FILE:

          The file path to save the object context of the generated 
primary object.

This seems correct.

A note in this file states this:

Note: When using a TPM 2.0 with a persistent key with handle 0x81000001,
append 'keyhandle=0x81000001' to statements between quotes, such as
"new 32 keyhandle=0x81000001".

Now if someone was (still) interested in TPM 1.2 then the below changes 
you are proposing wouldn't work for them. Maybe you should adapt the 
note to state that these keyhandle=... should be removed for the TPM 1.2 
case.
