The observation is still valuable in the sense that prohibiting values

miniscule amount.  In other words, I agree with ekr here, though we
could cap the value to 1.3.

Maybe we could just define two values: one for TLS 1.3 (and greater,
presumably) and one for TLS 1.2.  I don't see any value in protecting
1.1 or 1.0 from downgrade any more given relative prevalence of those
protocols and their age.
