It can either be a probe just to see if it's reasonable to demand it, or
establish a precedent that they can refer to saying "it was always like
that, *your* application is broken, not ours." Also note that formally
speaking you can't blame them for demanding it. But you can blame them
for demanding it wrong. I mean they shouldn't try to communicate through
OU of self-signed certificate, but by terminating connection with
missing_extension alert, should they?
