"Host name" definition somewhere in the ID set?

[Thierry Moreau <thierry.moreau%connotech.com@localhost>]

Dear all:

As an outsider of the SSH protocol community (if any), I looked at the 
latest Internet-Drafts. I was looking at the initial trust on a host 
public key (well explained in tha architecture draft at 4.1  Host Keys).

My question refers to the definition of a server host name, from a 
security perspective. It should be in a security certificate sent by the 
SSH server.

Q.1 Should "host name" be defined?

Q.2 Should the specification mandate that security certificates MUST use 
the so-defined "host name" perhaps with some encoding?

Sorry if I should have found this information in one of the references. 
The OpenPGP certificate specification isn't very explicit.

Regards,
