I am modifying mod_nss to implement TLS upgrades (RFC2817) to use in a
special-purpose web client-server system.  In fact, I think the
modifications to mod_nss are done, but I am not yet done with
implementing TLS upgrades in Firefox, so I haven't tested the mod_nss
modifications.

As we discussed already, TLS upgrades seem to be insecure and
insuitable for general purpose web clients and servers due to multiple
reasons.  However, mod_nss was pretty much mod_ssl rewritten to use the
NSS library instead of OpenSSL.  Since the latest version of mod_ssl
now implements TLS upgrades, are there any plans for mod_nss to follow
and implement RFC2817, too, or is mod_nss going to go its own way?
