Twenty years, not ten.  TLS 1.0 is from 1999, but it had been around for
awhile before then (-00 was late 1996, the only change I can think of in the
wire format between that and the final one was from -02 to -03 in 1997) but
was stalled behind publication of the PKIX cert RFC.  An implementation 
written from the spec in 1997 would still work today.

Peter.
