In section 4 it says:

    Because the SCSV is equivalent to an empty "renegotiation_info"
    extension, any ClientHello used for secure renegotiation MUST include
    the "renegotiation_info" extension and not the SCSV.

I would rather see the text say that "an RI extension takes precedence
over the SCSV" than to say that you must not send SCSV when you send RI.
It is easier for a client to simply include SCSV in every ClientHello.
It is also trivial for a server to handle this, as I pointed out in my
last message.
