It does not simplify things.  Primarily because settings become
negotiable, which is a significant complication.  Is this the only
setting that is negotiable?  How do we signal that settings are
negotiable?

At worst, the cost to an encoder of an increased header table size
setting is an inability to use the static header table.  That means,
worst case, the encoder has to send a few more literals on the wire.
This is not significantly worse than sending
SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE=0.  In some respects, it's actually better.
