hmm... interesting, but why?

Same reason as DoH (DNS Queries over HTTP), but with better:

1. performance: since the TCP+TLS handshake is only performed once and the connection is kept open forever

2. privacy: the resolver doesn't get the requesting party's IP address

How does that work? Is it somewhat like Tor?

There's an awful lot of "why not?" here. Remember, this is an Experimental XEP. The XMPP Council saw no reason to actively block it, but that doesn't mean we're all mad keen that everyone should rush out and do it.

There was an intense debate on whether it ought to be published as Standards Track or Humorous...

There are, however, already multiple independent implementations:

It's just as humorous as DoT or DoH.

I'm sure there are valid reasons, but I also think there's a law that no matter how comprehensive your application protocol, it will eventually get turned into a transport for a higher-level (sometimes shoddier) application protocol.
