Hah, forgot to discuss this topic today. Well, it's not running away.

I am really only interested to be diligent with pledge requirements because 
those will have
the biggest variety of potentially crappy software stacks. Registars/MASA ci 
expect to be much
more software agile. But SNI is one such example, where the pledge does need to 
signal the
right info (SNI) to enable "cheaper" cloud registrars,  aka: those not owning a 
separate IPv4
address. See e.g.: AWS cost for IPv4 address. 

Now, cloud is a separate case from this threads subject (registar->masa), but i 
think technically
it is correct to ask for SNI support on Registrar. But i am not adament to make 
a fuzz about it.

Lets just agree on the final text for this errata so Rob can close the book on 
it.

Cheers
