I did not know about AIA fetching and it now solves something I had noticed before but never found out why. Now I know. :-) I understand finding the balance between a proper configured (web) server and trying to make users don't have problems with misconfigured servers. The same discussion has been going on with what a mail server/client should accept and try to interpret when the sender does not follow the proper rules.
