If a recent article in the German c't magazine is right (an I remember
it correctly) browser support for SNI is better than I thought it was.
According to this article, most modern browsers already support SNI -
the major exception being IE on Windows XP. As I understand it, IE uses
the OS'es cryptographic libs and those of XP don't support SNI.
BTW: SNI support was added to Apache httpd with version 2.2.12.

Nevertheless, as long as IE on XP still has a significant market share,
I think the *general* usefulness of SNI for public websites is still
somewhat limited.
