Don't forget subjectAltName, which should take precedence.

But anything defined has that requirement, and by extension will require the
extraction of that information from the "URI" for comparison purposes along
with some clear set of matching rules (i.e. what about wildcard certs, what
about tail matching for constraining authority in some cases, etc.).
