I like it. I think it moves the discussion from "you could bend the
protocol to do this assuming you have a cooperating client+server", which
is not something we can reasonably rely on as a browser, to a plausible
"PRIORITY is allowed on idle stream, treat such streams as 'group
anchors'"... i.e. allowing priority on idle stream means servers *must*
deal with this case, which makes using and deploying such mechanism much
more plausible.
