Look at RFC 701, it says: the precise set of octet values that identifies the protocol. This could be the UTF-8 encoding of the protocol name.
So I changed my mind and think it's okay to leave as-is but wouldn't mind if it became less general or more specific. For example, what if a protocol string matches a truncated UTF8 string? It makes me think of SNI which could have any format, but really is "any format as long as it's a DNS name" _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
