Sincere apologies; your statement is still not clear to me. Could you 
please explain/rephrase/clarify what exactly you mean by this statement 
and how this is relevant to the discussion in this thread?

"Hundreds of protocols and formats in the IETF use TLS, so it does not 
make sense to RAT-hole on attestation whenever TLS comes up."
