Let's take a step back. Jeff is proposing that we rearchitect the protocol. Removing the reference set is a relatively inconsequential part of these changes. Being able to split header blocks changes the way that the protocol is structured; it changes the HTTP mapping. Greg has only proposed that we restructure the "jumbo" frame that we use for header blocks. >From that perspective, Greg's proposal is far more a minor tweak. If the proposed change was to remove the reference set and maybe clean up some of the consequences of that, like the '\0' hack, then that would be a relatively small change. It might also enable alternative solutions to the issues we're discussing (549, 550 and 551). But if we're going to consider a major change like this, it needs to be better justified.
