I'd be interested in learning under what conditions a round trip
followed by the improved parallelism of HTTP/2 is still worse than
having to wait for new connections to be established in HTTP/1.1.  I
know that browsers tend to aggressively open multiple connections as
soon as they see a need for a connection to a host, but at some point
parallelism you are going to be paying round trips for connection
setup anyway.

Note also that we're talking about paying round trips to get TLS live
anyway.  So this IS going to hurt performance.  And, in many cases,
I'd have to assume that the security guarantees required for
/index.html are going to need to be higher than those around /foo.jpg.
 I don't want to get into a position where we secure just the
uninteresting stuff.
