Maybe you could spell these things out in the draft just as you have above?
I'm sorry, my explanations were misleading. I explained what I meant
when I wrote these statements that ended up in the document.

I've got no problem with providing additional clarifying text. How
about we add the following (some minor tweaks to what you suggested) to
explain what we mean by use and negotiate (send seems clear):
"negotiate" means returning a ServerHello handshake message with that
version number (neither an SSL 2.0 SERVER-HELLO, nor an SSLv3
ServerHello with a server version of { 0x02,0x00 }).
"use" means to successfully complete the handshake and start exchanging
application data protected under protocol version {0x02,0x00}.
