It's not clear to me when this would actually be needed.  I don't see any 
parallel in the other protocols with TLS support.

Ken, once the client and server agree to begin TLS negotiation, is it 
possible for there to be a failure that would not requiring closing the 
connection?  (That is, where both parties would know on which octet the 
unencrypted connection resumes.)
