I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Myself and many engineers I know still use the term "SSL" even when we mean TLS (i.e., 1.0+) exclusively, in part because some people don't "know" TLS (but they do know what SSL is).

Old habits die hard, I guess.

Indeed. I used to do the same, but I've since switched to only using TLS and taking a couple of seconds to say 'a newer version of SSL' to any confused looking faces in the discussion. After a while of doing this I don't see nearly as many confused faces and others have even taken up the procedure! :)
