By default server is on unsafe renegotiation mode and doesn't require
any of the extensions, either on the first or subsequent negotiations.
Disallowing rengotiations after this point for the client shouldn't
offer any advantage since you are already connected securely to a peer.
The damage (for the client) is on the initial negotiation. But I might
be wrong. It's too late for me :)
