Re: Working Group Last Call for draft-ietf-httpbis-binary-message-01

I only have a few comments.

The use cases are certainly there, i.e. " encoding of HTTP messages that
can be conveyed outside of an HTTP protocol". We have done this for a long
time, in many forms but all encoded with protocol buffers
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers>.

I wonder if an http-wg version of "ASN.1" definition is needed here. We
certainly won't switch to bhttp anytime soon, and there will likely be
performance gaps too to adopt such a new encoding.

When streaming is needed, a new wire protocol will likely be needed in
order to tunnel bhttp.
