Yes, although that's a different class of issue from the ones we're trying to
address in hasmat and keyassure.
these two drafts comprise the approach Adam Langley (of google) is presently
pursuing wrt both fast TLS startup (snapstart) and support for
NextProtocolNegotiation (during TLS handshake)..
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-snapstart
Note that the motivation for draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg is so-called
websockets, which are being worked on in the IETF HYBI (hypertext
bidirectional) WG http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/hybi/
