Ben Kaduk's TLS Discuss 2

[LPardue]

@kaduk said:

(2) Let's check whether the quic_transport_parameters TLS extension
should be marked as Recommended or not. The document currently says
"Yes", and the live registry say 'N'. That said, the earliest mention I
can see of using 'N' in the archives is in
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls-reg-review/z8MOW0bYNP2KIj4XcCXBe2IOKfI/
which seems to just be stating what IANA did when they changed what
codepoint (since there were issues with the initially selected value
'46') and not a reasoned decision.

The perhaps haphazard nature of that change notwithstanding, in my
opinion the 'N' actually is correct, since the extension is not
appropriate for general use of TLS (indeed, we require that TLS
implementations that support this document abort the connection if it is
used for non-QUIC connections).
