In earlier times, "SSL" has referred to

Regardless of the way the communication encryption is started, there
is subsequently negotiating about the encryption used, when it is
likely to be selected TLS >= 1.2.
It is true that here was better to change the descriptions as now the
usual terminology - instead of SSL to give SSL/TLS and instead of TLS
to give STARTTLS. The same for POP3 and SMTP. Does it seem like a good
idea?
Sounds good to me. Should I file a bug report?
