Re: Design Issue: Frame Size Items

I need to re-read the framing continuation thread (
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2013JanMar/0600.html), but
I thought all this was addressed by that (8192 max frames, with frame
continuation bit). I see that the spec does not mention frame
continuations, so maybe we just have to write the text, or perhaps the
thread reached a different conclusion than I remember.
