You should also accept the other flavour of "secure" (starttls + DANE + any 
certificate matching the DANE records, even a self-signed one), though major 
providers will use PKI-validating certificates anyway, even with DANE. Also, 
without DANE, a PKI-validating certificate is not enough if you don't check 
that the hostname in the certificate matches the intended destination. I'm sure 
you know, but just for the sake of completeness, if anyone actually wanted to 
write a best practice document...
