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.
