This was a request from David Benjamin.  But then all the things you
mention are why I think that it might have been a bad idea.  I think
that the idea was to avoid unnecessary changes.  Changes that might
regress the security decisions made originally.  It was the most
conservative choice without thinking about the problem too much.

However, if we model this as new connection + 0-RTT stuff, then I
think that we are good.  Probably.  If anyone disagrees it would be
good to hear that.
