Because of the TREQ setting.
TREQ can be 'not specified, 'required', or 'not required'.
Consequently when TSAS is set to 'tls1.3', and TREQ to 'not required' 
the initiator can choose whether he wants to do TLS.

And we don't need this weird 'select TREQ required' when TLS is active;
never particularly liked that one.

Hannes
