I offered
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-sasl-tls-cb-03 as an
alternative to tls-unique back in the days.  The issue with using only
the client/server-random (a'la TLS Finished) was discussed back then
and for -01 in 2008 I fixed the construct to be more secure (credit to
Eric Rescorla and Sam Hartman who made me aware of the concern).

My draft derives the channel binding in a way similar to
tls-session-hash.  I would appreciate if you could take a look and tell
me if you believe that it would solve the triple-handshake concern.
