Sorry to ask: Which other protection schemes can there be?

I would say, a security that is only 'best effort' is 
nearly useless. It only gives you a secure feeling, but 
is not safe at all.

On the other hand, I admit, it would not help at all if the TLS
"null"-encapsulation (i.e. unencrypted mode) were also allowed ;)
