So I think there are 3 options: - You use TLS, not some Chinese variant, and add things like Chinese ciphers to it. - Use something that's not TLS at all, a Chinese variant, and don't support both protocols on the same port. - Support both on the same port. This will require coordination with IANA and/or IETF. Kurt
