Julien, I disagree that this doesn't follow the TLS specs.

RFC5246 (Section 7.4.1.2) says (emphasis mine):
  "The cipher suite list, passed from the client to the server in the
   ClientHello...
   If the list contains cipher
   suites the server does not recognize, support, *or wish to use*, the
   server MUST ignore those cipher suites, and process the remaining
   ones as usual."
