[Ballot comment]
Only the writeup actually has a concise statement about the changes 1.0 -> 1.1, versus
the document having a section "Differences between TLS 1.0 and 1.1".  I will not become a

IANA Comments:
Upon approval of this document, the IANA will create the following new registries:
TLS ClientCertificateType Registry

Should all these registries be placed at the same location?
For the initial values, where in this document can IANA find these - which section?  Can this be specified in the document?
