The top of page 8 says:

>                     servers MUST accept requests of at least 1024 octets and
> clients SHOULD accept responses of at least 65536 octets. 

1K seems reasonable.  65K seems unreasonably large.  Cookies are ballpark of 
100 bytes, maybe closer to 200 if you use AES_SIV_CMAC_512.  8*200 fits in 2K.


Do we want to specify a max length for the Server Negotiation?
