Personally I'd prefer this expression:
2) All headers, after (any) compression, must fit in a single
HEADERS frame.
This expression allows people to negotiate a jumbo-frame extension
and escape the ill-adviced 16383 bytes hard limit.
This is going to be Varnish take on any variant of CONTINUATION
as they are currently specified: We simply won't touch them,
and sever any connection that tries to use them.
(I think it would be wise to subject HEADERS to flow-control,
but am open for other anti-DoS mechanisms on this point.)

I don't think we need to floor it on the freeway to see that painting
the windshield was a bad idea, and punting now is just a tacit
acceptance of 0) by inaction.

PS:
Yes, I realize that not having wasted a lot of time implementing
a protocol I think sucks in too many important ways disqualifies
me as "a implementor" using Marks strict criteria but the code
that does not get written due to bad standardization should
also be listened to.
PPS:
I'm looking for co-authors for a jumboframe extension draft.

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