Re: Some HTTP 2.0 questions

I think they should use strict prioritization. If it's long-lived
prioritization, the client is free to update the advisory priority with a
new PRIORITY frame. Moreover, in the prioritization proposal I emailed out
before and converted into an I-D, it's possible to reprioritize to assign
weighting instead of dependencies. If you truly want weighting, use a
weight.
