Well, I do not see it like that, moreover because the STARTLS is not 
essentially better than IMAP-over-SSL. At least one should be able to 
submit the domain/host the client wants to connect to, in order to enable 
virtual IMAP/SMTP/... hosting.

So, STARTTLS is just overhead without gain, well, you need one port less.
