As a test, I changed the protocol registration on my system to use "SSL/TLS" as
abbreviated protocol name. However, to me it does not enhance things. You are
still not able to type TLS in "Decode As..." or anywhere else. If you use
"expression" to build a filter it will now show "SSL/TLS Secure Sockets
layer", which is also confusing, but adding "Transport Layer Security" there
would be a lot of text.
In the end, I think people should be aware that it's all SSL implemented in
different versions.
