I don't think you can get away with requiring SNI everywhere.  There is 
still software in the wild which doesn't present an SNI.

Worse: there is software in the wild that presents an SNI that doesn't 
have a matching DNS record!  (I'm looking at you Apple).

However, you can probably change to an improved behaviour if there is an 
SNI which resolves and matches the URI and Host: header, whilst still 
supporting broken clients.
