You are right. No one has tried it. Yet.

My thesis is that there has been little incentive to reduce the cost
of TCP state but that DNS-over-TCP/HTTP presents such an incentive.

In that context my earlier post spelt out how maintaining state for
vast numbers of TCP sessions by auth servers, at Internet scale,
should be tractable.

If you see flaws in my earlier post then we need not bother with
demonstrations. Do you see flaws?

If you see no flaws, then of course a demonstration would be a next
step.
