Is that true? I didn't look closely at the protocol changes, but maybe you're
right. On the other hand, if so, then why keep the existing IETF numbers?

If you are correct, then yes I agree. But that makes any OpenSSL integration
that much harder, doesn't it? Would the project take on the work of making
things like the apps and tests work? In particular, a new global flag saying
"tnssl" (or such), and failing to interop with existing TLS, checking the
modified cipher suites (and disallowing them for real TLS), etc.
