That is an excellent point.  While you're at it, it'd also be a good
idea to consider how it interacts with DNAMEs.

For example, if you use my naming convention with the protocols, you
can use DNAMEs to say the client certs for all the protocols are the
same, e.g.:

        _client._udp.myhost.example DNAME _client._tcp.myhost.example
        _client._sctp.myhost.example DNAME _client._tcp.myhost.example

This doesn't let you alias server certs without also aliasing client
certs, no idae if that would be a problem in practice.  The comments
in RFC 6698 suggest that aliasing server certs is rarely useful.

R's,
