It's normal that people confuse SSLv3 with TLS. SSL 3.0 was a released and widely deployed protocol, and the term "SSL" is still widely used today to refer to TLS. But the situation is much better if we rename TLS 1.3: TLS 1.3 spec has not been released, it is not supported by any non-testing clients or servers, and there are not many documents, papers or blogs mentioning TLS 1.3. This is why I said "TLS 1.3" is similar to "Windows 9" in terms of naming. > if the WG really wants a TLSvX.0 name, the X really should be bigger than 3 > Well, I prefer TLS 2.0, because it sounds more natural that major version 2 comes after major version 1. But TLS {>3}.0 is also fine to me, if the WG thinks people may get confused between SSL 2.0 and TLS 2.0.
