It looks inconsistent to me to point to the libpq documentation to get
the details about SNI.  Wouldn't is be better to have an item in the
glossary that refers to the bits of RFC 6066, and remove the reference
of the RPC from the libpq page?

+       to present a valid (trusted) <acronym>SSL</acronym>/<acronym>TLS</acronym> certificate, while
This style with two acronyms for what we want to be one thing is
heavy.  Could it be better to just have one single acronym called
SSL/TLS that references both parts?

Patch 0003, for the <productname> markups with OpenSSL, included one
SSL/TLS entry.
