I just had a quick phone call with Nico.


He's still been thinking about this from the API standpoint.  I was
asking him why we wanted to support separate slots in the protocol for
channel binding type and channel binding data.I didn't understand the
complexity.  During the conversation it became clear that Nico
believed that at the end of the day you want to end up with a channel
binding type, a colon and some stuff.  I like that too.  I don't care
how it works in the API at all.


I propose  we accomplish this by adding the following requirement:

"Under this framework, channel bindings MUST start with the channel
binding unique prefix followed by a colon (ASCII 0x3A).
"
