Couldn't WinXP browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) implement their own TLS with SNI?

At least Chrome 34 on Windows XP supports SNI; I strongly suspect that Firefox does as well (since they are both using the NSS library for SSL).

Firefox does, but only because it uses their own TLS library instead of using the one supplied by the OS.

Yea, I should have been more specific. Chrome and Firefox DO have their own TLS with SNI and SNI is enabled for them in Win XP. The issue is relevant for all IE versions on WinXP.
