That's false. I've seen it repeated a few times but it remains false. Mostly, this falsehood seems to be repeated in tandem with efforts one could interpret as attempts to create FUD about Internet related security. TLS started in the IETF as a compromise between Netscape and Microsoft proposals for how to secure HTTP. X.509 started as part of X.400, then X.500 and is used by TLS. Today, I would bet almost all implementers never need to look beyond RFC5280 for X.509. And I hope it stays that way until we somehow figure out how to retire X.509. S.
