Re: #642: Allowing PRIORITY on streams in any any state. [was: Concerns about HTTP/2 Priority]

I have no objection but I think that it is better to add a description 
as below in #643 to  care
about a stream id of an idle stream in a dependency tree not to be the 
closed state accidentally.


````
Note that their stream identifiers need enough to be high since they 
transit to the closed
state when a stream with a higer-valued stream identifieris is sent or 
received (see Section 5.1.1).

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.
