Yup, that is novel, and needs more discussion, so I agree with you.

So the first example I proposed in that note is what I would deploy:

        dNSName mail.example.com
        otherName SRVName _imap.example.org

I wouldn't put "example.com" in dNSName, because then it didn't
constrain that certificate to only the IMAP service. Although I
fully expect some sites wouldn't care.
