Section 6.5 single SETTINGS frame MUST NOT contain multiple values for the same ID. If the receiver of a SETTINGS frame discovers multiple values for the same ID, it MUST ignore all values for that ID except the first one. I'm wondering why the text proscribes error handling of MUST ignore in response to violation of the MUST NOT send provision. I'd rather my implementation be strict and enforce the MUST NOT send via PROTOCOL ERROR when receiving this. The kindler gentler days of being liberal in what we receive have sailed. There is not yet an argument for backwards compatibility to not do that, but if I did so I would also be in non compliance. Can we either change it to PROTOCOL ERROR (preferred) or just be silent on handling of the error? -Patrick
