This PR incorporates the feedback during IETF last call from Mike Bishop (issue #32), Meral Shirazipour (issue #33) and Barry Leiba (Issue #34), with only a few deltas:

  1. Some of the issues were already fixed in PR Fix fronting spoofing ref #30, Fixing the fronting server spoofing section.

  2. Not applying Meral's proposal to change "colocated" to "collocated", as "colocated" is established industry usage

  3. Not applying Barry's suggestion to replace "floundered" by "foundered", as "floundered" is closer to intended meaning.

Generally looks fine, though the added paragraph in the security considerations section should probably be tweaked a bit more.


In the future, it might be possible to assume that a large fraction of TLS handshakes

My understanding is that both "was" and "were" are acceptable usage here.

I don't know for English, but in French there are subtle differences between the two. "If it was true, ..." would imply "... but it is not", while "if it were true" would leave open the possibility that it may or may not be. So I went with Barry's suggestion. But what do I know?

"were" works!

We do discuss this topic elsewhere in the document, so it's not out of place to mention it again here. But the rhetoric does not flow very well, with "simultaneously" only mentioning one thing it does and not also the (desired) primary purpose to balance it. There's also not much of a transition from the previous paragraph, though in this style of writing there may not need to be one.

Yes. I copied Mike's sentence, but it might be better to just point to the section that discusses the issue.
