Re: Call for Consensus: Remove "reference set" from HPACK (to address #552)

Note also that those numbers are from a Jetty encoder that had a encoding
strategy designed with a RefSet in mind.   It makes some choices about
which encoding to use - eg it doesn't put set-cookie in the header table as
it is unlikely to be sent again.

So I'm making no representation about the absolute numbers as the choice of
encoding may not be optimal, and for things like Date it will depend on the
speed of a server if it is worthwhile putting them in the header table or
not.  Although I note my numbers are similar to others previously published.

The only representation I'm making with this data is a very limited one
about the relative values with/without various features - that being that
they don't make a lot of difference.

cheers
