RE: Stricter TLS Usage in HTTP/2

 > making the chosen ciphersuite depend on the version of HTTP selected is already a requirement of HTTP2. The proposal here is about a change to that criteria. Section 9.2

Do we want to revisit that? Personally, I feel that mandating stronger cipher suites makes a lot of sense but there're a couple of caveats:
- I'm not sure how this plays with opportunistic TLS
- I think we need to be stronger on the use of ALPN. Maybe "Implementations of HTTP/2 MUST support ALPN on all TLS connections" under 9.2? There's a server requirement under 3.4 but unless I'm mistaken no hard requirement on the client.
- I'd like to hear from someone who deals with offloaded or off-box decryption of TLS as to how this will play out for them.
