Re: feedback on draft-nottingham-httpbis-alt-svc

What do other folks think about this? 

Personally, I’m OK either way, although it may be more expedient to keep it separate (i.e., only move over the frame type and other HTTP/2 specific bits). 

Thanks for the offer Julian, I may take you up on that. Or, should I say, MAY.

Cheers,
