You are mistaken. The only think even remotely close to this in RFC4366 is a
way for clients to negotiate smaller blocks if they're memory constrained.
This still doesn't compel the server to block out the data any particular
way. SSL fundamentally provides a byte-stream protocol and you're not ever
going to find one extension that totally changes the entire type of protocol
SSL is.

SSL is a byte-stream protocol just like TCP. There is no magic switch that
will change this. If you need message boundary support, implement it any way
you like.
