In general, I'd like to focus on things that are *essential* to get 
HTTPbis out of the door. This seems to be a change that's not essential.

And no: we don't need to submit *perfect* documents. They just need to 
be better than RFC 2616, and optimally without known issues. I totally 
expect to work on httpbisbis once http2 is out of the door, 
incorporating the feedback that will surely come out of that.

Best regards, Julian
