Perry asked me to summarise the status of TLS a while back ... luckily I
don't have to because someone else has:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sheffer-tls-bcp-00

In short, I agree with that draft. And the brief summary is: there's only
one ciphersuite left that's good, and unfortunately its only available in
TLS 1.2:

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
