Yes but they don't completely overlap. Being version agnostic is one thing, but optimizing for future versions is another one. This can range from trying to take more advantage of HPACK for H2 to trying hard to make first requests fit in a single QUIC packet. This can have some consequences on the design choice for future header field names and syntax for instance. Cheers, Willy
