​I've just come up against this issue in my implementation. Is it a
protocol ​error to receive a HEADERS with END_SEGMENT set, but END_HEADERS
cleared?

And since the CONTINUATION frame doesn't even have an END_SEGMENT flag, if
we need to send big headers at the end of a segment do we have to do
something like: HEADERS+CONTINUATION(END_HEADERS),
HEADERS(END_HEADERS+END_SEGMENT)?

Blech.
