I hope this is not going to turn into a lengthy debate, but I would like 
to understand what people care about when comparing different handshake 
proposals.
"Should use the minimal number of round trips" is one thing I've heard 
on the mailing list.
What are other things people care about?

Best Regards,
Alexey
