I think that this is the path we walk. Anything major will need a new ALPN tag. I would certainly advise people that this is better than something else. That said, I'm not particular sympathetic to the use case of having an intermediary that isn't really a participant in the protocol. I know this happens, but I think that the onus is on those entities to deal with the consequences of the protocol, in all its aspects. That means not passing on settings (and frames, etc...) they don't understand.
