So I'm not making a proposal here, just asking a question out of academic curiosity: is this just handwaving and assumptions, or have some people given it a try and found that it doesn't work well? Are there any documented results showing that?

I had a Masters student look at it a few years ago, who had some problems making TFRC usable in practice: http://csperkins.org/research/thesis-msc-saurin.pdf 

Also, the TFWC work http://tfwc.hackerslab.eu/ points to various problems with TFRC.
