TLSv1.3 is *NOT* going to obsolete in the original/true sense of
obsoletion as it was defined and meant for RFC documents & IETF specifications.

Please remove any such bogus Obsoletion meta-data from the TLSv1.3 draft,
that is erroneously present in rfc4346 and rfc5246, and your perceived
problem vanishes completely.

Retaining the history of documents in the IANA registry (not deleting
older references to older documents) will also avoid confusion.
