If this hadn't been made clear already, then hopefully this will:

Our intention is to support any development effort attempting to implement an SSL conformant implementation. We will work with you to repair the spec as needed to eliminate any errors or ommisions, and help you test your implementation to ensure that it interoperates with ours.

It's clear to me. "We're going to use some security, as long as it's called SSL and our authorship is on the document."

No, he didn't say that -- you're jumping to conclusions based on a statement he's making on a separate topic. We're going to support security mechanisms as they are required and accepted by the market -- functionality, protocols, formats, etc. -- whether or not they are called SSL and whether or not our authorship is on the document.
