there's always a catch. ;)

Tor would become something else, perhaps UDP Tor.
there has been more written on that subject than i can do justice
here. i'm fond of DTLS signalling for encapsulated IPsec telescopes
with SFQ and DLP transport for multi-homed SCTP endpoints, but that is
just one of many possibilities.
a grand unified datagram Tor spec has yet to be written...
