I am curious why the draft treats SSL v3 (SHOULD NOT) differently to TLS

We received feedback about that at the London meeting and haven't incorporated it yet.

 From a security perspective, they are equivalent in that they are no
significant threats mitigated by TLS 1.0.

TLS 1.0 is still vulnerable to the BEAST attack so it should be a SHOULD
NOT like SSL v3.

Ack.

Given the vulnerability of these versions to the BEAST attack, we should
set a date to flip then from SHOUND NOT to MUST NOT to send a stronger
message to stop using these versions.

IMHO it's not the function of this document to be setting flag days.
