This is another reason why I think that privacy/security statement
needs to be removed; it just leads to this sort of confusion.

I think we're *not* hiding anything here, we're just saving a few
round trips. That's the benefit I see to this XEP: If you know you're
using TLS, just start using it, why bother negotiating an upgrade?

I understand that not everyone needs to save these round trips, but I
see that as the primary benefit of this XEP for people who do need to
save it; trying to frame it as a security thing will just confuse
people or make them think that the existing STARTTLS stuff is "bad"
somehow.
