Possibly. But that will break an awful lot of servers, such as Openldap,
and clients that can only work with .pem BER encoding. OTOH, FreeS/WAN
IPSEC insists on hashes, together with their .der cert. Not exactly easy
for the beginner.

Microsoft "embrace and extend." Only one step worse, is Lucent's Brick 5
stuff which needs 2 certs where others use one.
