Indeed it does, as does
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-tls13-05

On the other hand, https://cabforum.org/ and
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6961
are the other way.  (I did not put much care into the selection of those
two particular RFCs.)  TLS can be (and is!) used outside of the web PKI,
whereas the CA/Browser forum is at the heart of the web PKI.

I did not see a concrete request for action on my part; please let me know
if there is something you would like me to do.
