It sounds like we have consensus to do this, with some editorial input.

Marking editor-ready.

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.
