DNS-over-TLS in public resolvers would be very useful for small-scale 
DNS repeaters in corporations and ISPs. They usually connect to few 
public resolvers and can easily keep these connections alive. Persistent 
TCP connections place much lighter burden on firewalls than UDP 
requests, so there might be overall performance gain on both sides.

QUIK, SCTP and similar future technologies can be even better, but are 
obviously not ready for deployment here and now. TLS is.
