Yes, I've missed that. +1 (Modulo dropping HELO)

And I agree that we should lose HELO.  As was pointed out
earlier, both client and server have to be able to handle EHLO
in order to get near setting up a TLS session with STARTTLS.
There is no excuse for either to go back to HELO once the TLS
session has started.
