there is taken RFC 2459 as a base, but there is a new one which
obsoletes it - RFC 3280, the section about SANs hasn't changed so far.

Old Version
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt
New Version
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3280.txt

but there are some interesting new Details in reworked RFC:

This specification obsoletes RFC 2459.  This specification differs
from RFC 2459 in five basic areas:

   * To promote interoperable implementations, a detailed algorithm
   for certification path validation is included in section 6.1 of
   this specification; RFC 2459 provided only a high-level
   description of path validation.

   * An algorithm for determining the status of a certificate using
   CRLs is provided in section 6.3 of this specification.  This
   material was not present in RFC 2459.

   * To accommodate new usage models, detailed information describing
   the use of delta CRLs is provided in Section 5 of this
   specification.

   * Identification and encoding of public key materials and digital
   signatures are not included in this specification, but are now
   described in a companion specification [PKIXALGS].

   * Four additional extensions are specified: three certificate
   extensions and one CRL extension.  The certificate extensions are
   subject info access, inhibit any-policy, and freshest CRL.  The
   freshest CRL extension is also defined as a CRL extension.

   * Throughout the specification, clarifications have been
   introduced to enhance consistency with the ITU-T X.509
   specification.  X.509 defines the certificate and CRL format as
   well as many of the extensions that appear in this specification.
   These changes were introduced to improve the likelihood of
   interoperability between implementations based on this
   specification with implementations based on the ITU-T
   specification.
