RFC5056 needs to be an actual, informative reference.  Also, since we
use both Finished messages this resembles the tls-unique-for-telnet CB
most:

   The data used in the extension is similar to, but not the same as,
   the tls-unique and/or tls-unique-for-telnet channel bindings
   described in [I-D.altman-tls-channel-bindings], however this
   extension is not a generic-purpose RFC 5056 [RFC5056] channel binding
   facility."
