The Multipath TCP (MPTCP) work is starting to bubble up to the IESG:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-api/
Both Stephen and I have concerns about its interactions with TLS:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-api/ballot/

Has anybody here had a look at mptcp (or want to have a look) and have 
any thoughts about its interactions with TLS?
