I don't believe any statement from the HTTP-WG would have any impact other than making the relevant spec that mandated a particular U-A either DOA or be partially implemented. Neither is a good outcome :) > - cookies : the largest ones are those handling an encrypted context so you > won't compress them cookies tend to repeat between transactions on a connection. So the first encrypted cookie on a connection would not compress well (it will compress some just because it is expressed in text), but subsequent ones compress extremely well because of their redundancy. An HTTP/2 with a lower connection count means more transactions per connection and therefore greater opportunities for that optimization.
