In the help bubble for the TLS option in the SSL configuration page in
kcontrol, it says:

    "TLS is an older protocol and should only be used if SSL v2 or v3
     protocols are unavailable or unusable.  Enabling TLS disables
     SSLv2 and SSLv3."

However, in the SSL-Talk List FAQ (and numerous books and on-line documents)
it says:

    "1.2) What is SSL?

        SSL is the Secure Sockets Layer protocol. Version 2.0 originated by
	Netscape Development Corporation, and version 3.0 was designed with
	public review and input from industry, and is defined at
	<http://home.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/index.html>

		    
     1.2.1) What is TLS?

	TLS is the Transport Layer Security protocol. It is effectively SSL
	3.1 and was submitted to the IETF standards committee for change
	control in 1996. It should be close to release.

So, TLS is in fact the successor to SSL. Please update this descriptions.
