Yes, I totally agree on this point and that's what we want to do. However thinking about deleting the trailers in H2->H2 worries me because I suspect some might already use them. In any case, it's clear that having more technical capabilities in H2 has opened a new can of worms regarding HTTP semantics that once used to be limited by the transport layer! Cheers, Willy
