client was Re: Server Identity Verification in Application Protocols

This I-D is very hot on the fact that it is about Server Identity, yet
technically, I see no reason why the logic does not also apply equally 
to client identity.

In networking, with the networking box as server, and the client
being the one that wants to change the configuration, then client
identity is the one that matters, not server.

I would like to add an initial paragraph to the effect that although
the memo is written in terms of Server Identity, there is no 
technical reason why the processes described cannot be applied
to verifying the Client Identity.
