For protocols less than 1.3 we'll need to ensure that the extended
master secret is in use:
This channel binding mechanism is defined only when the TLS handshake
results in unique master secrets. This is true of TLS versions prior
to 1.3 when the extended master secret extension of [RFC7627] is in
use, and it is always true for TLS 1.3 (see Appendix D of [RFC8446]).
OpenSSL should have an API for that (SSL_get_extms_support); I don't
know when it was introduced.
If we want to cross all our T's, we should also disallow tls-exporter
if the server was unable to set SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION.

Yep.

Did you have any thoughts about contributing the Python tests (or
porting them to Perl, bleh) so that we could test failure modes as
well? Unfortunately those Python tests were also OpenSSL-based, so
they're less powerful than an independent implementation...
Thanks,
