While I appreciate your willingness to keep trying to modify SPDY,
I think it is premature to do so, certainly until we know what
HTTP/2.0 should actually do and how it should do it.

For instance if we decide to do the envelope/substance split,
(probably envelope/metadata/substance actually), that has pretty big
implications for the requirements to the actual protocol.

Such fundamental questions should be resolved before we waste time
trying to fine-tune representations.
