Various things break. The best strategy is to let the scheduler dictate an arbitrary upper limit, which might come from further down the network stack. After that, the client is stuck with priority inversion — it’s their fault anyway. > No one claimed we were making HTTP perfect here, but I think that you > will find that it's manageable with smaller sets of header fields. :) I’m just thinking in terms of limits that should be specified for my implementation. Right, there’s no problem, and “perfection” harming implementability would itself be a fault.
