It may appear that the answer is

Any reason I shouldn't do it this way? Any better way?
The value of servername is presented after Connecting to your server.
If you move the Configuration to another Server, the real Servername
and the presented can differ. If you can live with that, this is the
easiest way.
Actually, the problem is much much worse and incredibly inconsistent.
Like blow me away inconsistent.
Connect from localhost, and the realm used is the 'servername' parameter
from imapd.conf (or FQDN if unset)
Connect from another host, and the realm used is apparently derived from
the hostname! In this case, it's being set to sv.svcolo.com
Apparently this is standard and can be disabled with virtdomain: userid.
Okay, so "servername" really is just the server name.
Can we get a new parameter which is always used as the default domain
for SASL authentication if no other is provided? Obviously the
virtdomain ip-lookup mode provides a domain to sasl, so it wouldn't
affect this...
