I merged all of these changes into master since it looked like no-one seemed to 
have strong opinions against them and they seemed like quite reasonable changes.


I'm about to cut a draft-02 with these changes if no-one has strong opinions 
against. https://github.com/tlswg/tls-subcerts/

Aww, I see your point. You're right, it should be that crit=true if and only if 
crit=true.

The point was to enforce that, if a delegation certificate is offered in a 
handshake, then a DC must be negotiated in that handshake. I wasn't actually 
there, but I'm told that this feature was brought up at IETF. It doesn't seem 
like there's a clean way to do this, and I'm not sure this feature is worth the 
added complexity.

I'm going to propose we drop the strict flag and let the critical bit be 
optional for the extension. What do you think?
