This has already been discussed in the past, it's not up to TLS to constrain
what a CA can do, and more to the point if you've paid a CA a small fortune
for a cert you don't want some TLS implementation to reject it because of some
minor disagreement over what colour the cert frame is painted.

Redde Caesari quae sunt Caesaris, the PKI code decides whether a cert chain is
acceptable or not, not the TLS code.  

Which is exactly what my code does.
