Re: [TLS] [Errata Held for Document Update] RFC8446 (5682)

I think if the errata report is moved back into the "reported" state by the RFC Editor staff, the AD should be able to edit the report to reflect the intent as opposed to having the diff appear.

> The length of this vector can never 2.  It is either 0, if the vector is empty, or >=4, if the vector has at least one extension.  Nothing elsewhere in the spec requires a non-zero number of extensions here, so this syntax should allow a zero-length vector.
