Which is now widely implemented as a part of TLS: ALPN.

One other higher layer (put by OSI on the session layer) thing that TLS grew: close_notify.

While TCP does have orderly release (slightly marred by UNIX considering a process crashing as orderly release), it turns out the end-to-end argument applies, and you need orderly release above the security layer.
