Re: initial stream id from a client

Michael, I meant an "outlier" from the stream perspective -- i.e. the
"upgrade" stream is special and requires special case logic for things
besides stream id (priority for example).

Martin, I think the following:

It is perfectly acceptable for a client implementation to always begin with
stream-id 3 and reserve stream-id 1 for upgrade.

I disagree with the requirement that if a client does ALPN or
direct-to-HTTP is a connection error to send stream-id 1. I'd prefer to
keep all the "special-case" logic for upgrade within the upgrade path.
