Summary: This document is good to go subject to the resolution of nits. 


Note normative downrefs to Informational RFC 4492 and Historic RFC 6101.




Major issues:

Minor issues:

Nits/editorial comments:

1. IDNits has a number of complaints that should be resolved:


  -- the UPDATES mentions RFC 5246 but it is not identified in the 


Abstract. Rather, "the TLS RFCs" are cited. Could I suggest adding "and 


explicitly RFC 5246" after that phrase. I can see where adding the 


others would get into a bit of a mess because they are obsoleted.



  -- a second IDNits complaint relates to missing RFC 2119 boilerplate.


  -- finally, there are several complaints about references, at least 


one of which is readily fixable.



  -- the other complaints relate to references.



2. Editorial style: Introduction first sentence: I'd suggest moving the 


phrase "since it was released in 1996" to the beginning of the sentence, 


followed by a comma.




3. Incomplete thought: Introduction final sentence:

OLD
SSLv3 now follows.

NEW
This view is now extended to include SSLv3.
