Thanks for that link!

I'm puzzled why the list shows IE.  AFAIK, the hostname matching
is entirely performed inside of SChannel SSP
(Microsoft's TLS implementation), and that is a part of the operating
system since at least Windows 2000, and _not_ a part of the MSIE browser.

And even today, the installed base of Windows XP outnumbers the
installed base of Windows Vista and Windows 7 combined, so talking
about particular versions of MSIE instead of specific combinations
of the Windows Operating System plus a particular version of
the MSIE browser is confusing/misleading.
