Hi all,

I wrote a blog post called Quic: the Elephant in the Room and posted it 
to the ietf list which generated a lot of comments, so maybe it's 
worthwhile for this list to consider as well. The jist is getting the 
Quic startup exchange back down to a 3 way handshake and very analogous 
to the original TCP handshake. It can be implemented using a DANE-like 
approach, or could be TLS could be extended to allow clients to cache 
server certificates.

My main purpose for writing it is because a Google-like company could 
actually implement it just like they did with Quic itself to see how it 
behaves in real life.
