AFAIK, CHACHA20/Poly1305 based suites were never issued ciphersuite numbers.

    http://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml

The following suites are in the "Unassigned" section, so I assume they are just for this draft:

   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256   = {0xcc, 0x13}
   TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 = {0xcc, 0x14}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 =     {0xcc, 0x15}

As you probably know, we haven't supported anything like that (Stream cipher + Poly1305 as an AEAD). I wouldn't be surprised if there were other problems.

Looks like the proposal was not moving forward since May, 2014.

Hi,

when i extends "sun.security.ssl.CipherSuite" with
     final static BulkCipher B_CHACHA20_POLY1305 = new
BulkCipher("CHACHA20_POLY1305", AEAD_CIPHER  , 32 ,32,  0,  0, true );
i found an Problem in "sun.security.ssl.CipherBox
Method "applyExplicitNonce" there for the AEAD_CIPHER case is an NPE if
the IV Length is zero. Then fixedIv become null
and there is an NPE. The Workaround for this is
     final byte[] iv;
     if(this.fixedIv == null) { // FIX for CHACHA
         iv = new byte[this.recordIvSize];              // CHACHA fix
         bb.get(iv, 0, this.recordIvSize);
     } else {
         iv = Arrays.copyOf(this.fixedIv, this.fixedIv.length +
this.recordIvSize);
         bb.get(iv, this.fixedIv.length, this.recordIvSize);
     }
Another problem would occour if i use "new
BulkCipher("CHACHA20_POLY1305", AEAD_CIPHER  , 32 ,32,  8,  8, true );"
Then in createExplicitNonce the nonce should become zero size but is
fixed length for AEAD of 8 bytes.
Both was seen in JDK-1.8.0_60
