The security section probably should note that large server self-imposed limit 
could be used for Denial of Service.

"Servers MUST NOT send more than 255 tickets to clients."
across the whole connection or directly after Finished? For long-lived 
connections that may be problematic, especially when connected with multiple 
post handshake authentication exchanges...

What about ticket count after post handshake authentication? Should we allow 
the client to re-issue the extension in Certificate message?

Should handling of "0" in extension be special? As in, if client is asking for 
0 tickets (e.g. because it will not do resumption), "SHOULD" the server 
respect that and send no tickets? (while the min(srv_limit, 
clnt_request.count) will do that, I think it may be prudent to spell it out)

Is the extension negotiated every time when resuming the session, or should it 
be saved as part of session data by server? What if client starts advertising 
it, drops it or changes value in the next ClientHello that offers resumption?

I'm assuming that it cannot be changed by client in 2nd ClientHello when doing 
Hello Retry Request handshake. Shouldn't that be stated explicitly though?
