But even though the RFCs define how IP addresses are represented in
certificates, I think you'll not find any real CAs that issue certs with
IP addresses in them.

IP addresses in certificates are used for network infrastructure security, such as with IPSEC. For instance, when a Cisco router requests a certificate with SCEP, it includes its IP address in the request, and expects it to be put in the subjectaltname in the certificate.
