Re: #539: Priority from server to client

Herve,

I think it might be helpful to have an explicit semantic split in the spec — right now we say “priority” when we really mean *requested* priority.

Talking to Martin about this offline, i think it makes sense to specify our current uses as “requested priority” and add a new field to PUSH_PROMISE as “applied priority”.

Does that make sense?
