I'm sorry to be pedantic about this, but that's not even close to what our charter says. It may be a _way_ to fulfill the charter, but it is not "the whole point". I support moving prioritization to an extension, for the simple reason that a lot of uses will not need prioritization at all and because I have not seen credible evidence for the quality of the proposed scheme. Making it an extension means we don't have to finish it at the same time as the base HTTP/2 spec, and that we can replace it with something better later on. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
