@martinthomson 
> In this scenario, the client will continue retransmitting the last cryptographic handshake flight. That sounds terrible. But if it ever has cause to send 1-RTT data (as it does in Marten's example, which I'm not sure is relevant), then it will retransmit that data on PTO. When that is eventually acknowledged, that will confirm the handshake.

Agreed. IIRC, the assumption in the design team was that the client would have something to send.

> Would it be enough to say that "unless an endpoint sends some ack-eliciting data in 1-RTT packets, the handshake might remain unconfirmed indefinitely" and leave it at that?

+1. We may hint that "a client MAY send a PING packet to confirm the handshake."
