Yes, a number of net companies do this (Google, CloudFlare, Akamai and no doubt 
others).  OpenSSL will support something like this in a future release 
(boringSSL has "equivalence classes" but the syntax and limitations aren't 
great).

But it doesn't matter -- it's still the server choosing what to do :)
