Hi Jean-Marc,

You are right.  We haven't been talking about the latest
NSS changes as often as we should.  Sometimes we just
forget to post our status updates here.  Sometimes our
public statements about certain topics must be approved by
our managers or legal departments.  (The legal issues around
employee blogging about work have been discussed in the
media in recently, but those issues aren't new to us.  We
face the same issues every time we write in the newsgroup
or Bugzilla.)

As you have found out, our web pages on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/
and http://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS:Roadmap are regularly
reviewed and updated.  That's a good way to learn about
NSS directions and plans.

We have been working on the ECC cipher suites for TLS
since last year.  We hold weekly meetings with other
vendors that implement the brand new RFC 4492
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4492.txt) to ensure that
the RFC is clearly specified and the implementations
interoperate.

Both the ECC cipher suites for TLS and the Server
Name Indication require support for TLS extensions.
This is one reason why we implemented these two
features at the same time.
