COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A clear sentence such as this one would have helped me:
OLD:
  This specification defines a new concept in HTTP, "Alternative
  Services", that allows an origin server to nominate additional means
  of interacting with it on the network.  
NEW:
  This specification defines a new concept in HTTP, "Alternative
  Services", applicable to both HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2.0, that allows 
  an origin server to nominate additional means of interacting with 
  it on the network.  

I overlooked this info in the following sentence, i.e. the fact that HTTP
header = HTTP 1.1:

  It defines a general
  framework for this in Section 2, along with specific mechanisms for
  advertising their existence using HTTP header fields (Section 3) or
  HTTP/2 frames (Section 4), plus a way to indicate that an alternative
  service was used (Section 5).
