Hi Adrian,

Please to be clear, noone suggests to flip back to what we previously
had, there's no question about reintroducing the reference set whose
removal has considerably simplified developers' experience. The idea
is just to ensure that *at least* some dynamic headers can be encoded
with a single byte so that all the future headers that are not part of
the static set are not penalized so much as what Jeff observes.

Regards,
Willy
