To amplify: One reason use may be limited is precisely because these things are still drafts, not yet RFCs. Also the use of [1] is of course limited to those that want to, and can, use TLS. And [2] is still being significantly debated. The reuse of TCP (or SCTP) connections *bidirectionally* has major security concerns. Its quite likely that proprietary solutions that do it have potential security problems, or else have limited applicability. The most straightforward connection reuse for TCP is simply to maintain separate connections for each direction. It really requires no special draft to tell you how to do that.
