As we have previously established in relation to the discussion on connection IDs and handshake types, there are values that would be sent in the clear in (D)TLS 1.3, which have very tight constraints, and those that would be sent under encryption, which might not need so close scrutiny.

This one would be sent encrypted -- the contents need to be encrypted,
which impacted which mechanisms were viable for them.

But not as narrow as to require access to the prime space between 20 and 31 that we are using for handshake types that need to be sent in the clear. I think that we should encourage the use of a value >= 32 in this case.

I don't think the specific value to allocate has come up yet; I'll try
to remember to keep an eye out once IANA gets to that point.
