Explicit nonces should not be used in TLS. I'm happy to be building
things without them in mind.

SIV modes, if turned into AEADs, would have to authenticate their
nonces internally. RFC 5297 basically says that already
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5297#section-3). That might mean that
the nonce is prepended to the AD inside the AEAD abstraction, but that
wouldn't be TLS's concern.


Cheers
