It did in the old days when we had the XMPP ICA. In fact we were in the
process of removing that option for Class 1 certs even for the XMPP ICA
because of security problems with wildcard certs. Part of the reasoning
behind pulling the plug on the XMPP ICA and redirecting admins to
startssl.com was that we'd need to perform stronger verification and
that infrastructure was already in place at startssl.com but not at
xmpp.net.

There is: startssl.com (Class 1).

Feel free to try out GoDaddy and report back. They are not free as far
as I know. I do not have experience with their certs, only their domain
registration services.
