Having read over the history of TLS-SNI as reported in the draft spec, I feel 
like it might be prudent to mention that a significant part of the failure of 
TLS-SNI was Apache httpd and its (nonsensical, IMO) behavior of sending 
certificates for domains that don’t match the SNI request.

The write-up mentions “service providers”; for what it’s worth, I feel like a 
more complete and accurate picture would also indicate that “popular server 
software” (e.g., Apache … maybe others?) will happily serve up a certificate 
that has no connection with the SNI request, and that this is also a 
significant part of why TLS-SNI did not work.
