Good suggestion! We can certainly add this.

As the extension is merely a hint to servers when deciding how many tickets to vend, \
I think this is out of scope for the document.

It's intended to be once per session, and we'll add that.

Also a good catch. Like other extensions that are not affected by the possibly \
updated ClientHello, it must not change. We need to specify the server side behavior, \

That seems reasonable to me.

Thanks again for the comments. We'll incorporate them into a next revision ASAP.
