Draft-21 says:
"Handshake messages MUST NOT span key changes.  Implementations
  MUST verify that all messages immediately preceding a key change
  align with a record boundary; if not, then they MUST terminate the
  connection with an "unexpected_message" alert.  Because the
  ClientHello, EndOfEarlyData, ServerHello, Finished, and KeyUpdate
 messages can immediately precede a key change, implementations
  MUST send these messages in alignment with a record boundary."

It is not clear to me what "sending messages in alignment with a record 
boundary" means.
Does it mean that each record is either all plaintext or all encrypted with key 
X? And therefore one cannot combine, e.g., ServerHello (plaintext) and 
EncryptedExtensions (encrypted with the handshake traffic key) messages in one 
record?

Thanks,

Andrei
