DISCUSS:

Did anyone think through the potential for this kind of
change to interact with attacks like BREACH? [1] It
looks like at least some of the mitigations mentioned on
[1] would not apply to requests, or possibly not, so I
suspect there is something to say here. If that analysis
was not done, I think someone ought look at it. If that
analysis was done, shouldn't there be some mention here?
