+1 On Ted's comments. In Enterprise circles TLS is an unknown acronym and as painful as it is, we must usually refer to it as SSL, before anyone knows what we are talking about. Software products are guilty too. Parameter fields frequently reference SSL. :(

That said, the objection makes sense to me. I certainly think of SSL as poison. Of course, the average Joe on the street doesn't even know what TLS stands for, but the people who are deciding what software to run do. In that audience, adding confusion with a new name change is probably bad. So what Hubert said seems self-evident to me, not requiring any explanation.
