Guessing I missed the discussion on this, but in the latest HPACK
draft the static table was to lower indices than the header table
instead of higher indices.

This now requires an extra byte (2 instead of 1) to index almost any
name not in the static table.

Opened https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues/578 to track.
