I believe you can sort of "get around" that requirement using a wildcard SSL certificate (e.g. for *.domain.tld). But that only helps you if you're running multiple subdomains for the same TLD. I think I heard something about a change to the SSL protocol which would allow sending of the hostname during SSL negotiation, but I have no references. Plus any such change would require years or decades to propogate throughout all clients on the Internet.
