 Replying to [comment:7 nickm_mobile]:

 > We could have clients use TLSv1_method, at least. That would be
 something.  Servers would probably need some disgusting hackery of the
 info_cb variety.

 This would make Tor clients' ClientHello messages distinguishable from
 most other applications'.  I don't think we're going to want to do that
 until SSL 2 and 3 are really dead, and I'm not convinced that that will
 ever happen.
