I think my preference goes to sending priority only on the control stream,
for simplicity and robustness.

Having two ways to signal priorities through a frame is complex.

I would point out that Chrome (as it is now) sends the PRIORITY_UPDATE
frame on the control stream before the HEADERS frame on the request stream,
and I like it.

QUIC does not have ordering guarantee between streams, and that means that
there's always chance for a PRIORITY_UPDATE frame to arrive after the
prioritization signal sent on the request stream, regardless of that signal
being a header field or a frame.

Therefore, servers ought to buffer the information conveyed in the
PRIORITY_UPDATE frame being received on the control stream. The current
behavior of Chrome helps server developers do that.
