I thought about that as I sent it. I suppose the connection messages would
confuse the tls-on-connect client and wouldn't work any way. I've never
tried that, so I don't know. If it could be done w/o problems it might not
be a bad idea so long as it's always the same init string. I'm thinking of
this in technical terms only (instead of it being good/bad idea).
