Now somewhere I've seen a center-fed horizontal antenna. something like
a double Zepp, but in addition to feeding the two halfwaves on each

wave phasing harnesses, or maybe I'm just imagining something from an
old antenna handbook.

You have described a horizontal colinear antenna. It has gain broadside
to the wire but don't expect good results off of the main lobes.
Of course if you have a preferred direction, or work two locations 180
degrees apart it works nicely.
