Whether this is specced (as an optional client behaviour) or not, I think
the spirit of "mostly secure" suggests that at the very least, simple clients
should look at cert hash and expiry, and not just the cert public key as Felix
suggested in this thread originally. I think it'd be nice to see this suggestion
in the Best Practices file, if you agree.

I want to setup an entirely separate document on TOFU practices! Idon't want to rush into it, though. I am planning to read this paperover the weeekend:
