In the extension, the client could indicate the previously attempted protocol version. The problem with this is that SSL3 ClientHellos are not supposed to have extensions, but we'd like to secure fallbacks to SSL3. > 2. Use one SCSV value per TLS & SSL protocol version. The client includes the SCSV indicating the previously attempted protocol version.

Which (at least partially) defeats the purpose of the I-D. We've had the design of an SCSV-per-version before and it didn't really go anywhere. (There is, at least, ekr's draft[1].) Yes, you have to step down every version. But stepping down is a good idea because you want to lose as few features as possible. If you drop right down to SSLv3 then you loose ECDHE and so on. It's more latency, but only for the case of very old, broken servers. So be it.
