And if the servers don't implement the "should" on 1.0 how do we get 
deployments for the other actors that can't talk to 1.2

Are you saying that there's some difficulty in *implementing* TLS 1.2 ?  If so, 
please explain what that difficulty is.

If you're saying that TLS 1.2 is not widely deployed, and so it's hard to find 
two implementations that will actually *use* TLS 1.2 to talk to each other, I 
have no argument with you.  But that's not the point.
 If everyone implements only TLS 1.0, we'll never move forward.  And when TLS 
1.2 (or something later) does get rolled out, OAuth implementations will be 
left behind.  If everyone implements 1.2 AND 1.0, then we'll be ready when 
things move.

I'm pretty sure there'll be trouble getting through the IESG with a MUST for 
something two versions old, and a SHOULD for the current version.
