Deployments of Zstandard, or "zstd", can use different window sizes
to limit memory usage during compression and decompression. Some
browsers and user agents limit window sizes to mitigate memory usage
concerns, thereby causing interoperability issues. This document
updates the window size limit in RFC 8878 from a recommendation to a
requirement in HTTP contexts.
