Yep, requiring TLS1.2+ and strong ciphers is cool :)

About this, why requiring P256 elliptic curve [FIPS186] support, which is 
*not* safe (see http://safecurves.cr.yp.to/) and not the safe Curve25519 curve 
for example ?

If it means same behaviour as MITM or downgrade attack…
And currently, I don’t see any of those non-trivial advantages. Do you have 
some example ?

What about TLS client auth with connection reusage ?
If dom A don’t require TLS client auth but B does, how the connection reusage 
will handle this case ? Without TLS renegociation for domain B, the HT2 user-
agent won’t be able to see there is a client certificate to send, no ?
