Better, but requires a lot of work to deploy. This runs the risk of repeating the IPv6 experience. We make it too different, and people will not want to deploy it. IPv6 was rotting on the vine for 15 years before deployment started in earnest. And that happened only because IPv4 addresses were finally running out and all the NAT bandaids were not enough. I don't see any scarce resource in HTTP/1.1 that will force people to switch to HTTP/2.0. Just because something's better does not mean that migration is worth the effort. Yoav
