Indeed, they are permitted. All legacy servers will take this form,
and of course, if no certificate material is provided to a TLS-capable
NFS server, it will act as if RPC-on-TLS is recognized but not
supported.

"Encouraged" is a bit strong, however. I think if we /encourage/ a
behavior, it would be to encourage the use of RPC-on-TLS where it is
practical.
