I spitballed that we should only allow 1 ORIGIN frame, but that basically isn't plausible due to size limitations, I don't really expect it to be used to dribble updates over time. (but normatively enforcing that would require some kind of CONTINUATION world I hope nobody wants to entertain.)

I'm fine with this alternate way of handling changes. GOAWAY will probably be my choice, avoiding complexity.

Will track my implementation efforts here (https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/96) for anyone interested or wanting to give feedback.
