COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for working on the HTTP priority. I hope to see this specification gets
deployed and we learn how to efficiently use priorities more.

I have two comments that might have been already thought about -

  - Section 12: I was wondering how much it would be different to have same
  considerations for TCP as we have for QUIC - specially for "Endpoints SHOULD
  prioritize retransmission of data over sending new data, unless priorities
  specified by the application indicate otherwise". Could this be a very
  transport agnostic behavior this specification can define?

  - Section 13.1 : it says  -

      "if a server knows the intermediary is coalescing requests, then it could
      avoid serving the responses in their entirety and instead distribute
      bandwidth (for example, in a round-robin manner)"

    It would be great if we can mention any known or standard way for the
    servers to know about the intermediary. If there is non or if the is not
    deterministic way for the server to learn about how the intermediary works
    then I would argue that Section 13.1 is an unnecessary details.
