We're using James' proposed representation in the HTTP/2 draft.  This
is essentially just HTTP/1.1 with ':'-prefixed header fields rather
than a discrete request line. We use +/- as James proposed to indicate
the presence and absence of flags, but there we're talking about
framing.

But James is right to note the distinction between an HTTP/2
on-the-wire notation and generic "this is my HTTP request" notations.
In discussions of HTTP, I'm sure that we can continue to use HTTP/1.1
(or -like) representations.

I'm sure that we'll get by.
