That is the issue!

Implementations are required to implement a modal feature that is only used
by 0.001% of traffic, with a switch between modes at an indeterminate size
and many implementations will never ever ever see any traffic that uses
this mode.

This is exactly like header field continuations in http/1 - a required
seldom implemented (correctly) feature used by infinitesimal users.

At the very least we should acknowledge that this is a problem, even if in
the end we accept it so we can handle big headers.

cheers
