At this point, the OpenSSL-style cipher suite adjustment string has become a
de-facto standard. So I believe NSS should be modified to follow that de-facto
standard rather than expecting those writing security advice to do extra work:

 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=967235>

It's not a sexy change to NSS, but it would be very useful. Enterprise
administrators of Firefox would probably appreciate this as well as server
admins for servers using NSS.
