I had originally similar thoughts, but doesn't that introduce a 4th version negotiation mechanism? We already have the current version negotiation mechanism(1), the extension mechanism(2), the ciphersuite negotiation(3), and we are getting a new version negotiation mechanism based on extensions(4). Note that (1),(2) and (3) aren't getting away if we introduce (4). The code will stay in implementations for more than a decade. A simpler proposal is: Consider TLS 1.3 as a feature, and negotiate it using an empty extension. If the extension is present a server assumes TLS 1.3. regards, Nikos
