Yes, I agree with that interpretation. Here's the paragraph from RFC3546:

    "HostName" contains the fully qualified DNS hostname of the server,
    as understood by the client. The hostname is represented as a byte
    string using UTF-8 encoding [UTF8], without a trailing dot.

You interested in taking a shot at a patch for this problem? It seems like it
may be a good idea to simply normalize (strip trailing dots) at a central
early point in time.
