There were two but I think you are aware of both.  One is what Peff
already mentioned, the client may want to make the decision before
going through the negotiation.  The other is "moving the goalpost",
the history the last server has may violate the view of the history
common between the server and the client that is established during
the negotiation with previous servers.
