Yes, and I'm asking why that that particular decision is out of
bounds for HTTP/2.0, when we can kill other mis-uses of HTTP/1.1
without trouble ?

How is restricting the charset in a way which is compatible with
what the HTTP/1.1 spec says different from throwing out chunked
boundaries in a way which is compatible with what HTTP/1.1 says ?

Both a architectural decisions which means that some tiny subset of
HTTP/1.1 traffic won't tunnel through HTTP/2.0.

But one decision could be made with no trouble, the other is out of bounds ?

Why ?
