Why ?..I see mod_ssl as a superset of mod_tls.. Both mod_tls and mod_ssl are
capable of SSL & TLS protocol comm., and they both use the same utility
(OpenSSL) for achieving it..
(AFAIK, mod_ssl goes a step further by being compatible with SSL-C).
The only reason why mod_tls has to be maintained (if at all) is because it's
a lot simple to understand and easier to manipulate..
Just my thoughts..

At some point, the mod_ssl filters should be removed from mod_ssl, and put
into mod_tls. That way, the same filters can be used for the proxy, and
other
protocols, without the mod_ssl wrapper stuff.
