As far as interoperability is concerned. I don't think XMPP plays any

Also it's new to me that TLS 1.0 would have to interoperate with TLSv1.1
or TLSv1.2.
TLS client and server negotiate a TLS version using the
(Client/Server)Hello messages.
Right - if you point a TLSv1.1 capable client at a TLSv1.0-only server,
you'll get TLSv1.0.
That's what I thought too, but after having a thread on the IETF-TLS
mailing list I got doubts.
Here is the thread:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.tls/8814
and that is one of those comments from this thread which are talking
about some interop problems:

Sorry, haven't more, therefore I've asked here. ;)
