Here I'll point out my mess-up of this:

A recent edit of Section 8.1 changed this to say:

> A HEADERS frame (and associated CONTINUATION frames) can only appear at the start or end of a stream. An endpoint that receives a second HEADERS frame without the END_STREAM flag set MUST treat the corresponding request or response as malformed (Section 8.1.2.5).

That's the alternative.  It's easy to back this out, depending on the
outcome of this discussion.
