It would be wise to get a clear statement of preference from the Internet root operators on this, but don't forget that whatever gets defined in IETF standards, and implemented in leading DNS software packages, also affects private enterprises too. Many of us run internal roots and I, for one, don't want to see an influx of traffic and/or spiky saturation of bandwidth, because priming suddenly morphed from UDP to TCP in the latest software update.
Let's make sure we put this in perspective, though -- how often do your resolvers restart? If it's once per few months to apply a kernel patch, then we're talking about far less traffic than your printers, phones and laptops are spewing every second onto the network with mDNS (or ARP, even :-)
Real root servers deal with internet-scale numbers of resolvers. It seems unlikely you have that problem in your campus network.
