I had an idea, although it's a bit off-the-wall: Could OnionCat be used
to provide a traffic-analysis-resistant, "covert," and potentially
anonymous VPN system?

We've already seen VPN technology used for non-private purposes; a good
example is gamers' heavy use of Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc). Perhaps
there might be some application of a similar system with the addition of
an anonymity layer, though I can't think of any right now.

Just food for thought. =:oD
