But also I'd like to understand what the danger is with just clientAuth
dNSName SAN certificates that chain to WebPKI roots.  I expect the
danger of that for Web services is nill, so it's really the role-
symmetric type of services (MTA, XMPP) that most benefitted from being
able to get clientAuth dNSName SAN certificates that chain to WebPKI
roots.
