Yeah, same here, I like this construction far better than the -01 one.

As others have said, this extension is basically undeployable with
TLS 1.2 because middleboxes.


Also, assuming parity in the future might not be a good idea. Does
anyone have any idea what TLS 1.4 might be about[1] (TLS 2.0 would
likely be about cleaning representation, but that would likely be a
bad idea)?


[1] Not Post-Quantum Cryptography. Integrating PQC into TLS 1.3 is not
a difficult task (once you know the trick). And I do not see TLS
changes making it any easier without weakening security.
