Re: [TLS] Making post-handshake messages optional in TLS 1.3 (#676)

I think it would be simpler (and deal with most cases) to only allow this
for specific application
profiles (we would then allow it in HTTP/H2, perhaps with some small -bis
RFC).

Here is a PR for this:
https://github.com/tlswg/tls13-spec/pull/680

Andrei, would this cause you any problem? My impression was that this use
case was only
about HTTP/H2.

Thanks,
