That term was appropriate for draft-green as justified in [1]
That's disputed by some folks but it's the correct term.

Claiming that current browsers "support" wiretapping is plain
odd to me and not that useful for the discussion but isn't a
TLS protocol issue as we don't currently have, and don't have
a WG proposal for a draft-green like wiretapping API as part
of the TLS WG set of RFCs.
