Hi Viktor,

I think that what you bring up here has value, but I do not see it in
scope of draft-ietf-tls-ticket-request. The draft as currently written
addresses the use-cases that it was scoped to address. I would
encourage you to propose another draft with your use-cases, as
that would be a great starting point for that discussion. I appreciate
your editorial work on draft-ietf-tls-ticket-request and I'm willing to
make those editorial changes (assuming the other editors agree),
but we shouldn't change the normative text to support an
out-of-scope use-case.

Thanks,
David
