Hi Roy -

Nobody has mentioned this yet in this thread so I will. The existing
design, which I think is universally regarded as awkward, meets the
requirement for 1 byte minimum pads which is rooted in Thai Duong's comment
here: https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues/344  .. a new frame would
either need a non standard frame header as Greg mentions (also awkward in a
different way!) or be too big.
