I think this argument is invalid. I would find it valid to say that this is
unnecessary complexity (having a larger max frame size at the framing
layer) since that's for non-HTTP protocols and it's too early to discuss
them. But if your implementation only going to support HTTP semantics
anyway and plans to choke if someone tries to send a frame for a non-HTTP
application layer protocol, then I don't think there's any additional
implementation burden here.
