A point I brought up (and one of the reasons I tossed my own OX 
proposal in the trash months ago, which was, essentially, the same 
thing).

Any proposal which ends up - for large sites[1] - costing them DNS 
resources as they constantly have to fallback to TCP for the long 
answers, is doomed to failure as "dead on the vine".

I've seen a couple other proposals, and am waiting impatiently for 
authors of such to bring them forward for public review, which 
hopefully will happen any day now.
