Is that true?  I didn't look closely at the protocol changes, but maybe you're right.  On the other hand, if so, then why keep the existing IETF numbers?

If you are correct, then yes I agree.  But that makes any OpenSSL integration that much harder, doesn't it?  Would the project take on the work of making things like the apps and tests work?  In particular, a new global flag saying "tnssl" (or such), and failing to interop with existing TLS, checking the modified cipher suites (and disallowing them for real TLS), etc.
