... but it's best to leave it unspecified, as SNI isn't stable yet.

SNI or ESNI? Or are we talking about the broader debate?

My original thinking was that it was important to point out that SNI (not E) doesn't necessarily match what's in host. However, connection coalescing makes this implicit.

We could mention it in passing, if it would help remind people of that.

Hmm. Dealing with this properly is tricky. As you say, maybe best left to lie for the moment.
