METADATA frames for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

Hello HTTP WG,

I submitted our proposal to define METADATA frames for HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3, see below.  This has been used internally at Google over
HTTP/2 for years to help load balancing and diagnostics among other
things, and we are currently working on the HTTP/3 implementation to
support the same use cases.  We would be interested to see if other
folks would also benefit from this capability.  Please feel free to
share your thoughts on this list, or by creating an issue at
https://github.com/bencebeky/metadata.

Thank you,

Bence

Abstract:
   This document describes a mechanism to send meta information over
   HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 connections that refers to either the entire
   connection or a specific stream without changing the semantics of the
   HTTP messages.  This mechanism can be used, for example, to gather
   information for accounting or logging purposes.
