Nor I, but I think that's an optional extension on TLS which we can't
rely on.

Dangerously close to veering off topic here, so expect a new thread
soon, but I've started trying to do a proper TOFU-style certificate
handling scheme in AV-98.  An immediate question is whether to remember
previously seen certificates against hostnames or IP addresses.  The
most obvious place where this could really matter is for servers (with a
single IP) serving up multiple Gemini sites under different hostnames.
If the client *doesn't* send a hostname very early on in the handshake
then it seems to me there is no way for the server to use distinct certs
per hostname.

I need to do some reading, no doubt this is entirely well-trod ground in
HTTPS-land.
