Outstanding operations after TLS closure/renegotiation

Protocol-30 4.14.3 (Removal of the TLS Layer) says:

>   After the TLS layer has been removed, the server MUST NOT send
>   responses to any request message received before the TLS closure
>   alert. Thus, clients wishing to receive responses to messages sent
>   while the TLS layer is intact MUST wait for those message responses
>   before sending the TLS closure alert.

Didn't we have some text clarifying that the server can either complete
such operations without sending a response, or abandon them?  I don't
see that here.

How about outstanding operations after TLS ciphersuite renegotiation?
I would think they have the same problem as we'd have with sending
responses after closure.  At least if a poorer cipher is negotiated,
but it would be messy to try to maintain some ranking of which
renegotiations should drop responses and which ones should not.
