Instead of using bloated and invalid (for networkbooting purpuses) ISOs, the distributions should provide these files on their own, without the need to extract the isos.

There is no theoretical way that I can think of where it will work booting the ISO (unless the orignal ISO itself has a lot of magic in it, or you have some kind of hardware that supports this client side)
Normal PXE or iPXE will not work on it's own with the ISO without extracting it.
