Hello,

   I have readed this document
http://dev.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft1 today [1].

I just wanted to say that I think that the use of any binary data (framing,
header compression, etc.) in any place of the "header" part of HTTP
protocol is not good; so, please only use plaintext for HTTP 2.0 because,
otherwise, that will make very difficult to "see" the headers's protocol :)

Thats all,
Thanks for reading this few lines, sorry for my basic English, and I hope
that you can re-think all this of using binary data in any part of HTTP X.X
(ej: session layer).


[1] I started knowing about HTTP 2.0 here:
