Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

It is true that, while the ssl docs have (I think) an appropriate discussion of "security considerations", higher-level APIs (i.e. applicative protocols) don't provide any recommendations.

I don't know where we should put them. The recommendations will be similar for most protocols, so it sounds wrong to paste them in every module doc. Perhaps there should be a FAQ entry or a HOWTO?
