Description: Since SNI is getting more relevant (especially as IE8 usage drops), I rewrote the SNI page with a less technical web manager audience in mind. It gives some specific recommendations on what web site/service owners should look for to evaluate usage, and hits the "cheaper" note harder. I also moved the privacy consideration section out of this page and into the general FAQ, as I think it's a better operational assumption for site owners to always treat their hostnames as unencrypted in transit, whether or not their site specifically requires SNI support of clients -- and to generally think of the HTTPS internet in these terms. I rewrote and expanded that section (now in the FAQ) and vaguely mentioned general efforts to encrypt both SNI hostnames and DNS lookups. Other parts of https.cio.gov (and the formal OMB policy) make it clear that the hostname is not encrypted in transit during HTTPS, and describe this as a general property of HTTPS (even though it was created in practice by the introduction of SNI). cc @josephlhall, who contributed the original SNI privacy language in #97.
