Is that a successor to rfc-4559?  Is there a draft available?

Personally, I think that channel binding should be done to the
communication channel, not to a particular TLS session.

I think the original definition of tls-unique is _much_ better,
even though it will require the TLS stack to memorize an additional
connection parameter from the first handshake on a connection.
