Hi,
 An open issue for draft-ietf-tls-chacha20-poly1305-00 raised by Eric 
Rescorla is that this draft doesn't use the draft-TLS 1.3 mechanism 
for setting the nonce per record [0]. Is there any support for 
switching these ciphersuites to draft-TLS 1.3 nonce mechanism even for 
TLS 1.2? The alternative is to use the TLS 1.2 mechanism with the 
redundant bytes redacted as the draft is now [1].

Are there any other issues than the listed above which may prevent
early code point assignment?
