 From [wiki:org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year2]: "16. research: Internet drafts
 for one or two TLS features to improve its traffic-analysis resistance. In
 particular, TLS needs better support for link padding, and for a mode
 where it does not send its record headers as plaintext. (Yes, TLS
 implementation moves bog-slow, but if we can get extensions in place, or
 something into TLS 1.x, we can do a lot of good here.)"

 When talking to Nick about this deliverable last December, we agreed that
 there's not much that I can do in terms of coordinating with other Tor
 people or defining internal milestones and that I'm just going to ask
 every now and then how it's going.

 Still, having a rough schedule for the substeps to be taken until November
 would be cool.  Nick, can I ask you to make up such a schedule and post
 both the schedule and updates how it's going here?
