As long as you don't propose ASN.1 instead :-)

This is where I think we should really work on three levels of
data:
	routing-headers (first line of HTTP/1 sans :query)
	metadata
	entity-body

For routing-headers, yes, they should be binary and very cheap to access.

For metadata I think interoperability is more important than raw performance
and I would prefer we don't invent a new format, but piggy-back on some
existing encoding.

But this is clearly HTTP/3 stuff, so lets put it on the afterburner...
