I don't follow this argument, sorry. Extensibile priorities is not base to
HTTP/3, it could be substituted by something entirely different (although I
kind of hope not). HTTP/3 DATAGRAM is an extension, built on top of the
QUIC transport DATAGRAM extension. WebTransport is a new thing built on top
of these extensions. What does native mean in your definition? I really
think it's better that things wishing to use Extensible priorities take on
board the responsibility of defining that, using the extension mechanisms
that it provides. Otherwise, we're bottlenecking the progress that people
can make for the initial use cases that these things were built towards.

Cheers,
Lucas
