draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-latest, "9.2.1 TLS 1.2 Features"

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-16.html#rfc.section.9.2.1.p.2>:

"A deployment of HTTP/2 over TLS 1.2 MUST disable compression. TLS 
compression can lead to the exposure of information that would not 
otherwise be revealed [RFC3749]. Generic compression is unnecessary 
since HTTP/2 provides compression features that are more aware of 
context and therefore likely to be more appropriate for use for 
performance, security or other reasons."

This makes it sound as if HTTP/2 offers compression for request 
payloads, which is not the case.
