To Paul,
It takes a long time for big companies to update stuff especially in my arena. It's only the inbuilt CSR generation that's like that, we can use the underlying tools to put more names in. The issue though is the change to needing the main site name in the Alt DNS list

To Rillington
The risk is that the site may not be the one you think it is as part of HTTPS is authenticating the site as well as encrypting the data. True not many people carefully check certificates but you could.
