That particular goal has been met with the publication of RFCs 7230
through 7235.

The renegotiation is a blanket ban, not conditional in the manner you
describe.  Arguably, renegotiation triggered by a request to a
specific protected resource is a far worse layering violation.

I can't agree that this is necessarily a layering violation.  Though
the text recommends a violation, it also describes a method that does
not require a layering violation.  That is, if you consider the
interface to TLS to permit the passage of information about the active
cipher suite.
