You're correct; my mistake. I didn't notice the typo and reading a spec draft 
whilst tired is not always the best of ideas. ;)

CCing back to list and thread starter to make sure my correction is OTR for the 
list.

Fixing that typo in the draft would help to avoid future misreadings. Sticking 
in a direct reference to RFC6066 on first mention of SNI could add another 
level of clarification, if desired.

Thanks for quickly correcting me.


Dave
