I am not too worried about the server side. Servers that support multiple applications can put adequate information in the token, such as for example a server release number that points to the initial condition for multiple protocols. But I am concerned about clearly spelling out the client-side requirements, and I would rather see two parallel requirements: remember the initial conditions per ALPN+SNI, and remember the ticket per SNI.

Note that we want fast rotation of tickets for privacy reasons -- use tickets at most once if possible. That works better if we don't add rigidity, such as "only reuse tickets per SNI+ALPN". 

I think that resuming across multiple ALPN is a valid scenario. Kazuho points out that it may not be well supported in TLS 1.3, but we don't want to further ossify the lack of support.

Of course, none of that matters if we run all application protocols over HTTP.
