I'd like to remind everybody that headers are not flow controlled, cannot
be  segmented to allow multiplexing (can only be segmented for streaming)
and can be very large.

To allow binary headers is going to invite significant protocol misuse.
Why send your data in a message body if you can put it cheaply into the
header and not have to contend with sharing the connection with any other
requests/streams etc.!
