I hope there are already cases of extensions that would like to define additional master secret inputs.

Nothing in the document indicates that this extension will improve the security profile of TLS/DTLS, only that it is meeting the requirements of some unnamed implementers who "want to mix particular data into the calculation of the master_secret". Some text about this might help to motivate the specification.

The Intended Status line in the draft still says Standards Track. Suggest at least adding an RFC Editor note to help avoid confusion later in the process.

  The Gen-ART Review by Dorothy Gellert on 30-June-2010 call for two
  changes.  I think they should both be addressed, but neither is
  worth blocking publication as an Experimental RFC.
