[Bloat] if we're going to break middleboxes with TFO... why not go for more gusto?

I got pointed at rfc6013 (TCPCT) recently which looked like it solved
a raft of problems TFO doesn't solve.

Biggest problem it has though is that it eats all the remaining TCP
option space. I wonder if anyone tried implementing something similar
over UDP?

More readable detail than the rfc here:
