Ooops.   I meant CertificateRequest not Certificate.

TLSv1.0:  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2246#section-7.4.4
TLSv1.1:  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4346#section-7.4.4
TLSv1.2:  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-7.4.4

There is a significant PDU change from TLSv1.1 -> TLSv1.2.
(insertion of a SignatureAndHashAlgorithm list)

The change between SSLv3/TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 is "fairly" small
(unknown to some and many implementations have it wrong).
