My issue is that it's totally untested, and the fact that we have
offsets at all in HPACK (the 1-based indexing versus most languages
being 0-based) has already caused enough interop problems in my
experience. It's silly, in my opinion, to introduce the possibility for
even more interop problems of the same ilk as those we have already
fixed. That's what makes it significant.
