Did they?  For the protocol version, they used something that has
never seen the light of day (0x0003 - 0x02ff is "free" and will most
probably never be used for TLS), and the cipher suites they added are
in a range that's unassigned (0xE0xx).

You *are* correct on one point, though...  the Chinese standard isn't
TLS.  Like Matt says, it's a different protocol, even though it
resembles TLS v1.1 quite a bit.

Cheers,
Richard
