My issue is that it's totally untested, and the fact that we have offsets at all in HPACK (the 1-based indexing versus most languages being 0-based) has already caused enough interop problems in my experience. It's silly, in my opinion, to introduce the possibility for even more interop problems of the same ilk as those we have already fixed. That's what makes it significant. -- Peace, -Nick
