This requirement doesn't take effect until 2016. http://www.cabforum.org/Baseline_Requirements_V1.pdf """As of the Effective Date of these Requirements, prior to the issuance of a Certificate with a subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject commonName field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Server Name, the CA SHALL notify the Applicant that the use of such Certificates has been deprecated by the CA / Browser Forum and that the practice will be eliminated by October 2016.""" -- “These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness.” — William Gibson
