Dear TLS working group,

RFC 8446 Section 4 Page 23 says:

> Handshake messages are supplied to the TLS record layer, where they are
> encapsulated within one or more TLSPlaintext or TLSCiphertext structures which
> are processed and transmitted as specified by the current active connection
> state.

RFC 8448 Section 3 Page 8 sends a handshake record, with content type
application_data (0x17). Should I read it as: "The handshake record is
encapsulated within a TLSCiphertext"?

1. If yes, RFC 8446 Section 5.2 Page 80 says:

    > encrypted_record: The AEAD-encrypted form of the serialized
    > TLSInnerPlaintext structure.

    However, the payload does not follow the structure of TLSInnerPlaintext (RFC
    8446 Section 5.2 Page 79), but that of Handshake (RFC 8446 Section 4 Page
    24) instead.

2. If no, which section of RFC8446 specifies the complete record?

Thanks,
Yishuai Li
