Hi,

  The W3C TAG is working on a finding for Client Certificates that 
people here should find very interesting [1]. 

One issue that comes up a lot in discussions is the use of certificates
across origins [2], which some folks find problematic, even though it 
clearly has its uses [3].

 It seems that this could be solved neatly with an X509 extension
limiting usage to a certain origin or set of origins. I would not
be surprised if this already exists. With browser chrome support this
would allow the full range of uses from FIDO to cross origin ones
whilst putting the user in control.

Henry
