This has been suggested before several times. nobody has stepped
forward to write a draft. Are you volunteering to write one?
Doesn't the existence of OpenVPN (which does exactly this) make this more
or less redundant? That might explain the lack of enthusiasm for it,
there's already something that does this freely available.
(If you're using UDP then you have to provide your own reliability layer,
so OpenVPN uses IPsec's UDP-based transport without all of the other IPsec
baggage. If you wanted to do this with SSH you'd be more or less
reinventing OpenVPN).
