We went back and forth on whether to omit or require an empty extension. It 
looks like we have a mix of the two left in there that need fixing. (I think 
something got merged weird) Thanks for pointing this out.

I think it might be easier if we just required the extension for all cases 
where (EC)DHE suites are offered, and have it empty to request a server choice, 
instead of an omitted extension. If I remember correctly, that's what I had 
originally. One way or another, it needs to be fixed to be consistent.
