Hi Xuelei,

Given that 4507 is obsoleted in favor of 5077 is there really that much 
value to supporting this older/broken extension format?  Do we know of 
clients that still adhere to 4507?  Otherwise it seems better to stick 
to 5077 and the approach in TLS 1.3 and not try to go back and support 
an earlier obsoleted approach to this feature.
