I'm somewhat confused to see a Last Call for this proposal.
We had a discussion on this document on the TLS WG mailing list and
determined that this proposal is completely unable to achieve
the stated goal. This extension is completely bogus.
You came to that conclusion; many other folks disagreed. You stated that you
thought it was not useful in some environments, namely with RSA authentication
where the client has a broken PRNG. If that is the only environment you care
about, then this extension is not useful. TLS is used in many other
environments, of course.
