This looks great. Any tips on how to terminate mixed-mode protocols like MySQL's SSL mode and IMAP's STARTTLS? Vanilla unwrapper daemons generally don't handle the case of initial unencrypted bit twiddling, and then SSL negotiation.

Unfortunately not. STARTTLS is the bane of standalone TLS terminators like titus, which is one of the reasons I really dislike STARTTLS. I won't rule out titus supporting STARTTLS some day, but the idea of integrating parsers for a bunch of different protocols into titus is really unappealing.
