TLS 1.1/1.2 impact on applications protocols: msg#00040

Subject: TLS 1.1/1.2 impact on applications protocols

The changes that are happening in the TLS WG with the publication of TLS 1.1 and the upcoming TLS 1.2 do have a significant impact on application deployment. Many of our application protocols make TLS 1.0 mandatory-to-implement. I'd like to see a discussion of the importance of transition to 1.2 (when it comes out) and the real-world problems that might occur. Do we need to update our application protocol specifications to mandate the newer version? Or perhaps we need an app-area RFC which does that to a set of application protocols?

Can we just have a blanket exception to the standards status (proposed/draft/full) reference rules for the TLS base spec (and trust the TLS WG to do the right thing)? It seems more important to keep up-to-date on security technology than to have normative reference purity.

Perhaps this would be a good topic for the Prague apparea meeting?
