Quite possibly, yes - the devil will be in the details, but the concept is
perfectly valid, IMHO.


I've read or skimmed much of these threads. I support an opt-in mechanism
like the one I think dkg is imagining.

It should be visible on the outside on the connection, so middle boxes that
don't break TLS can see that TLS is being broken. (Is that irony? After
Alanis I'm never sure anymore...)

I don't know enough minutia to have a well considered opinion about what
track such a doc should be, but not-Standards seems good.
