It just depends whether we consider that they will exist and whether or not we indicate them an easy fallback solution (eg: clearing a bit must be possible even for hardware-assisted devices). Anyway, I'm mentionning this since larger frames have been suggested several times as been proposed later as an extension and I'm quite sure that at least without minimal efforts like this it cannot be done at all. > If we want a different framing, we should neg^H^H^H advertise it not in > HTTP/2?s SETTINGS frame, but in ALPN/Upgrade and call it HTTP/3 or HTTP/2.1. The problem here is that it may quickly require a large number of versions especially if multiple extensions are defined. Regards, Willy
