Michael,
This isn't documentation-related, but is relevant tot he subject you brought up. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to change the user interface to add an element that requires a user to "Enable insecure encryption methods" before using protocols that are considered weak?
That way a user could still use those methods if required for interoperability, but it would be clear that it is not recommended for security reasons.
