You could say "then it should just default to some specific domain,"
but then that's a server issue and the client can't do anything about
it since it doesn't know what the "default" domain is. Also servers
are allowed to drop requests that don't use SNI, so they're under no
obligation to support using a raw IP even though I personally do
think it'd be a nice feature to have.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge about SNI, but can't clients sendthe IP address as a host too?

If they can, then the server operator could simply configure what theywant to send for plain IP addresses, like it's done already withsubdomains?
