IIRC that was sort-of a condition for adoption of the work in the IETF 20 years ago, when there were two different protocols already being deployed and the proponents of one of them said "we'll use that other one (SSL) but you gotta change the name of the standard or we can't get our <bosses> to agree to change to all use the same thing." So changing to TLS was maybe a mistake or maybe not as it allowed us to end up with one protocol with two names and not two (or more) protocols. Cheers, S.
