@zygoloid Now it is!

See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4370.html#network.scope

Features that are considered outside the scope of this proposal include:

• Protocol implementations such as HTTP, SMTP or FTP.
• Encryption (e.g. SSL, TLS).

We have to start somewhere, and it's not with TLS. That can be built on top of the foundations, later.

Makes sense, we've waited long enough for having a socket in the standard.

Yeah exactly :-)

That being said, it's an obvious (and IMHO, necessary) V2 feature.

Is there a place where there is some sort of discussion and planning for a standardized SSL? The security considerations make it unlike any other implementation in the standard. I strongly doubt we will get a good result if we require N implementations from N vendors.
