Maybe also mention that TLS implementations must not include this SCSV unless explicitly requested to do so by the application, to prevent false good ideas such as "let's include FALLBACK_SCSV automatically when the version we're offering is less than the highest version we support" (which also should be clear by reading the spec, but who knows). I might be overly optimistic, but I hope that people implementing client work-arounds made necessary by the existence of buggy servers are able and willing to correctly implement a short a simple spec without adding bugs.
