If we actually have a consensus that it'd be better to go with TLS/2 than TLS 2.0, officially, I'd only be ok with it if someone can actually explain why. :|

HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 had these strings as part of the on-the-wire format:

   GET / HTTP/1.1

The slash rather than a space makes it easier to parse with strtok(), I guess.

HTTP/2 is more binary so there is no “HTTP/2” string inside, but the name kept the format.
