It's also not the wrong way to do it and it has some advantages (and a few 
disadvantages). I'm doing this with https and xmpps as well, even if the 
servers support TLS by themselves.

TLS support in binkd would be nice, but for incoming connections I would still 
use nginx or haproxy for TLS termination.
