JFYI: binkd already has this capability.

Yes. We needed a method for safe and secure peer-to-peer file distribution:
0. Looking like a completely different protocol.
1. Immune to DPI (twice a fuck to Roscompozor).
2. Almost impossible to ban (18446744073709551616 more fucks to Roscompozor).
3. Capable of connection multiplexing on a single host:port pair.

 AI> Would binkp over TLS (or really, any secure method) be a good thing?

Generally speaking, TLS should be considered insecure being artificially
weakened on request from "general sponsor" (guess the TLA with one attempt).

For now, the OpenSSL still has the almost-safe triade of RSA (1977), SHA-2
(2002) and Blowfish (1993), but... they are _not_ used for TLS as a triade.
