I would support Martin Rex's upcoming draft which provides a general
solution that works for both SSLv3 and TLS, instead of using a dirty
hack that only works for TLS.

However I would like to see more analysis of Martin Rex's proposal
before making a decision.  Right now I only see advantages with Martin's
proposal and no disadvantages with it, while I see clear disadvantages
with RI and no advantages with RI that Martin's proposal doesn't also
have.  If that is really the case, Martin's draft will have my support,
but there could be some detail that has been overlooked so far.
