[Python-Dev] ssl - how to switch back to a plain text socket?

IIUC, RFC 4217 mandates that a TLS shutdown is exchanged (although they
apparently didn't read the TLS spec when they wrote the RFC, as the
TLS RFC doesn't seem to have a protocol primitive called TLSShutdow()).
If the protocol mandates it, coordinating switching to plain-text 
outside the SSL protocol is no option, no?
