Not so. A client offering different protocols can offer different suites, it only has to understand whether each suite offered, if selected by a server, is OK for h2. > A polyglot h1, h2 client correctly configured that tries to connect to > an old server won't be able to establish a connection speaking h1 > because the old server won't know the new ciphers (e.g. web spiders). Yes it can. The client can offer old cipher suites. The old server will just ignore the new suites.
