I really like this proposal - it makes it quite simple for me to
handle the changed option position (above) as a side-effect. Looking
at this, we may even go back to a single @ as @[ would be the actual
cookie for "non plain old UDP forwarding". What do you think?

Yes, I agree.
So the format for TLS-destinations now looks like this:
@[server.example.net]
@[2001:db8::1428:57ab](subject="server.example.net")
@[server.example.net]:514(fingerprint="SHA1:E4:E1:A6:1C:D4:31:D7:D4:9B:B8:DC:DF:DD:CE:30:71:46:00:92:C9")

It is also possible to use service names:
@[server.example.net]:syslog

This also implies that UDP destinations do not get an additional port option. (Or at least not if they are given as an IPv6.)
