I just became aware that XEP-0412/RFC 6120 mandate SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS.
The way I understand it, the required TLS Channel Binding for the SASL
-PLUS schemes is not possible from browser-based clients, as there is
no way to get at the required low-level TLS information.

Would it be possible to grant an exemption to the -PLUS requirement for
browser-based clients? I.e., have a footnote behind "RFC 6120"
consisting of "The mandatory-to-implement requirement of SCRAM-SHA-1-
PLUS is waved for clients operating in environments where access to TLS
information is not possible, i.e. browsers"?
