That's a reasonable thing to do.  The key questions are:
 - do you want fate sharing to that degree?
 - is there a meaningful distinction, priority-wise, that can be made
at this point?
 - would the cost of a collision (two clients hitting the same
priority group) be noticeable?

I'll also note that at 16m groups, each client gets, on average, 128
requests before you need to make a new connection.  That's not very
many.  I'd have thought that you would be better off asking for more
stream identifiers (I'll note that we could use that reserved bit with
this scheme, but that only doubles the space).
