While people are looking at that, there's also the encrypt-then-MAC draft,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-03.txt,
which has been stable for about as long, has already been deployed by several
vendors, and for which TLS extension 0x10 has been de facto claimed, so it'd
be good to get this published to legitimise the use (and to document what's
already being deployed in production).  In addition there's the ECC suites draft,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gutmann-tls-eccsuites-05.txt, which
a number of users and vendors are also waiting on for publication.  It's been
stable for quite some time as well.

Peter.
