Currently in draft -04 we have:

In "HEADERS" frame:

   END_HEADERS (0x4) flag

In "PUSH_PROMISE" frame:

   END_PUSH_PROMISE (0x1) flag


I am updating the document to introduce a new CONTINUATION frame as per 
issue 183. I have a couple of questions:

1) do people want to keep using END_HEADERS/END_PUSH_PROMISE flags or 
should I replace them with "more headers to follow" flag?
(Another option is to remove the flags altogether and just derive this 
information from presence of CONTINUATION frames. Speak up if you prefer 
this option.)

2) If the answer to 1) is "more headers" flag, can I reorder existing 
flags on HEADERS/PUSH_PROMISE so that the new flag
has the same value for both frames (and the new CONTINUATION frame)?

Comments?
