It is mentioned in rfc5246: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#appendix-E.1 "TLS servers compliant with this specification MUST accept any value {03,XX} as the record layer version number for ClientHello." It is, then, explicit that the record format cannot change without changing the TLS major version from 03 to 04 or so. > If the record layer version exceeds what the server supports, I think > it wouldn’t be prudent to reply with anything but an alert.

Yes, I know this goes against a MUST > requirement in appendix E.1 or RFC 5246, but as that appendix says, > this is behavior that is often implemented. Well, we can only interoperate as long as we implement the same protocol, and the protocol is specific on what to do in that case. regards, Nikos
