I think we've been round this loop and determined that for most/many
applications there is /still/ manual configuration (see SSL cert DN
for example).

An alternative would be to do this at a higher presentation layer (e.g.
the search engine), and cope with the fact that despite there being >1
equivalent representation, there is a smaller number of canonical ones
(perhaps one) that work. I'm not convinced alex-bligh.com and alexbligh.com
are not equivalent - or for that matter alex.bligh.com; just because I
get one to work, it doesn't mean the others work automatically.
