I too support this draft. I said in the WG that we may be better served with TLS-level padding, but I was convinced by two arguments. First, TLS level padding will be available at best with TLS 1.3, so we may have to wait some time. And then, there is the general argument that when the application can do padding, this is more efficient than a generic TLS solution. So, yes, that draft is useful.
