I see that I didn't respond to this.  I support David's view.

Even the suggestion that clients that resume only request one assumes that 
clients only want one.  The client probably knows better than we do.  I would 
rather say nothing about the number and keep it simple. 0 means 0, 1 means 1, N 
means N.

FWIW, the cost of oversupply is often marginal, depending on circumstances.  In 
a client-speaks-first protocol with no client certificate, the server can 
occupy the first round trip with tickets and generally gain a performance 
advantage (as sending more will increase the congestion window in most cases).  
Otherwise, there are usually quiescent periods that can be exploited for 
sending tickets.  And tickets are small, and cheap to generate.  With one 
exception: if you are relying on client authentication and packing that into 
tickets, I'm sorry.
