I think this adds further evidence that adding another workaround layer
(SCSV) is the wrong thing to do. Instead browsers should just stop
doing weird things with protocols that compromise security and drop
the protocol dance completely.

Also, quite clearly, we can't yet know how the TLS 1.3 (1.4, 1.5, ...)
rollout will work out.

The WG should be solving problems that do exist; and not manufactured
problems or theoretical future problems that don't exist.
