It was thus said that the Great Solderpunk once stated:

I think it goes without saying that at the absolute minimum a Gemini
client certificate ought to be a valid x509 certificate. I did look
into this at some stage and IIRC the Issuer needs to be non-empty but
the Subject does not.

I was unaware of this and (incorrectly) assumed that the issuer andsubject fields would always be present. Maybe mention somewhere in thespecification that servers could expect non-subject client certificates.
