Since this happened to cross my inbox, I want to reiterate that, in my view, this document has not been properly reviewed by the TLS WG. As the shepherd's writeup notes, previous reviews in the TLS group raised some significant concerns about whether this draft's approach is advisable.
I would encourage the responsible AD(s) to make sure that this document has strong consensus support from the TLS WG before proceeding.
