There is a fair bit in common between the different versions of SSL/TLS, and functions and constants in OpenSSL tend to get get named with the version of the protocol they were introduced in.

So "SSL3_AL_WARNING" isn't necessarily exclusively used in SSLv3, if the format wasn't changed in TLS.

This is why I consider merging SSLv2 and SSLv3 into the term "SSL" a misnomer. The two are really completely different protocols.
