It is. Basically this draft exists entirely because of a bug in F5
products, but the rough sense from ekr (TLS WG chair) was that we
probably didn't want to call them out specifically because they
(eventually) did cooperate and help us work around the issues.

Thus there's some unfortunate ambiguity in the text. If you think
that's nonsense then I sympathise and can take it up with the chairs.

Thanks, fixed (locally).
