Hmmmm... You've lost me again <frown>.
If you mean cert distributors, you can buy certs for about $10 from
GoDaddy, and yes, browsers recognize them.
If you mean the browser should recognize the cert as a cert and not care
about the name it's issued for, that can't work because the purpose of
a cert is to guarantee you're talking to whom you think you're talking
to. So the domain name has to be in there.
