No, they just specify the algorithms and bits on the wire (with a side-order
of MTI stuff for interoperability).  It's up to implementers to not do stupid
things.

If it's so trivial to compromise then why, of all the many, many papers
attacking TLS, has no-one every published an attack based on this?  In fact,
since it's so easy, perhaps you could publish a paper demonstrating it in
practice?
