Although I was initially in favor of (2) as well, such behavior seems very application-specific. Upload prioritization commands should be in the ALPN extension domain; this might include PRIORITY frames per se or maybe not.

If you are proposing doing (1), why does this include the
prioritization information in the HEADERS frame that starts the
response and not the PUSH_PROMISE frame?  Surely the latter would make
it easier for a client to provide alternative prioritization in a
timely fashion (and it would be congruent with having the client
provide priority in the request).
