yes, it handles them specially, but that's actually by a happy coincidence: 
client needs to verify that the ciphersuite can be negotiated with a TLS 
version selected by server and you can't negotiate those two ciphers with any 
version (in other words, this is a result of self-consistency check on server 
hello, not explicit check against them)
