I actually think SSL/TLS has won the debate of "correct terminology" for
describing a secure connection encrypted by a TLS protocol.

I think consistency is the interesting aspect here.  We already have a mix of
SSL, TLS and SSL/TLS (although heavily skewed towards SSL) so we should settle
on one and stick to it.  The arguments in the NSS thread which led to this
pointed to SSL/TLS.  If we feel that the churn isn't worth it, then we should
change all to SSL and perhaps instead just add TLS as indexterms to those
sections.
