This works less reliable then port 80 in my experience. Even hotspots
seem to detect this is different from real 443 traffic and dropping it,
possibly various porn filter softare and the like.

AFAIK, Wouter did not submit it as a draft, and (see previous email)
I would prefer to develop something that can do HTTP or HTTPS for
dnssec-chains. If we are making anything that does 1 query per TCP
connect, or worse, 1 query per TLS connection, it will just not work.
