Hi Paul,

  1.  The certificate MUST include a "DNS-ID" (i.e., a subjectAltName
      identifier of type dNSName).

  2.  If the service using the certificate deploys a technology in
      which a server is discovered by means of DNS SRV records
      [DNS-SRV] (e.g., this is true of [XMPP]), then the certificate
      SHOULD include an "SRV-ID" (i.e., an instance of the SRVName form
      of otherName from the GeneralName structure in the subjectAltName
      as specified in [SRVNAME]).

If 2 is true, what is the value of the required DNS-ID?

One or more hostname for machines that would provide the specified service. I.e. most likely some/all hostnames from the output of DNS SRV lookup, but I can think of some examples where other hostnames can be used in addition to or instead of these. E.g. a machine on internal network, hostname of a NAT box, etc.
