I like this option because it requires the least amount of processing.

Needs clarification...
1. When the "jumbo" bit is set, is the possible length 14-bits + 8-bytes or just 8-bytes?  (I vote for just 8 bytes)

2. SETTINGS are only 32 bits. Depending on your answer to #1, there would need to be two or three SETTINGS (low, high, high-high) to capture the full range of possible MAX frame size values.  Perhaps a better option would be to have the setting defined as a multiple of 16K chunks (minus one?).
