Re: http2 opportunistic security negotiation

I might be under-thinking this one.... but it occurs to me its possible to
not put the tls version of the site on 443 if there is no https:// version
of the site.. oe doesn't require a particular port number and 443 seems
like the wrong choice if https:// isn't available. too simplistic?
