Sure.

In general, yes. There might be some differences depending on the
application protocol that uses TLS.

One thing I'm trying to do with draft-saintandre-xmpp-tls is educate
and engage the XMPP community in the task of upgrading the security

About session resumption, I need to look more closely at RFC 5077 and
the version that is in the base spec. I am not yet fully sure that
citing RFC 5077 is the right thing for XMPP.
