Another obnoxious behavior is clients enforcing lifetime requirements for domains they have no business imposing their opinion about: .internal and .home.arpa. These are specifically carved out for private use. If I want to roll my own CA with a 2.5.29.30 name constraint extension for one of these domains and hand out a 10 year wildcard certificate, I should be able to without interference from my web browser.
Additionally, Google and the PSL have inadvertently broken .home.arpa on Chrome by misclassifying it as a public suffix, while leaving .internal alone. A wildcard cert for *.home.arpa will not work on Chrome, but *.internal will, despite these two domains being essentially equivalent in purpose.
