In the majority of use cases your users will be addressing the end entities 
holding your certifiates by DNS names - and not IP addresses. Hence an IP 
address does not have to be included in the certificate. My reasoning is that a 
certificate profile should only include the necessary information to perform 
the job. If you include more fuzz, it still works, but it's unnecessary fuzz. 
And once you have introduced unnecessary fuzz into your PKI you will never get 
rid of it later because you don't know what might break if you do. So don't do 
it in the first place :)


Cheers

Martin
