In my proposal there would not be any difference for you until you eiter
send a SETTINGS saying you want to accept larger frames, or react to
the peers similar SETTINGS.

In other words:  If you don't like length extensions, nobody can 
force you to use them.

So what exact "purpose of the protocol" would my proposal defeat ?

Is there a secret purpose to specifically hurt websites with
very large objects and high traffic I havn't heard about ?  :-)

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
