Comment(by deryni):

 Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking about exactly. So I think we can
 ignore it. =)

 I'm not sure we can correctly handle this case at all though. If we fail a
 connection when we are already encrypted and see
 <starttls><required/></starttls> we will permanently break connections to
 any broken servers which offer starttls over an encrypted connection and
 we can never be certain if the connection to the actual server is
 encrypted (as opposed to a local proxy of some sort) so we can't safely
 ignore starttls (required or not).
