Nuno,

That would solve the problem related to exchanging(?) a symmetric key.

But than why use symmetric keys when you already have something that 
generates and works with a-symmetric ones ?   Thats twice the work, with no 
benefit.

You did not answer this one though.

What would be possible when someone else gets hold of the symmetric key ? 
Would he be able to MITM ?

Would he be able to do the same with either or both the public keys ?
