OK that sounds reasonable. I'm sure you were planning this already, but 
we should be explicit that the first GOAWAY with extra acknowledged 
streams does not imply the client can continue to open new streams up to 
that stream id.

I couldn't find any text in the spec for how to process multiple GOAWAY 
frames. This can actually happen today, apart from this proposal, if 
some connection level error happens on the final stream(s) after a 
GOAWAY NO_ERROR. Just to keep in mind while drafting the new text.
