This seems overly complex. In particular:

 - I don't see the need for explicit extension lengths.

 - I don't see what having both a short length and a long length gets
us. Saving 7 bytes seems like a very minimal gain, especially when
considered in the context of the rest of the header and the IP and TCP
overhead.

 - Supporting fragmentation today is premature. We have no experience
with how people use this protocol, we shouldn't be adding such
features yet. Six months from now, sure, once we can quantify what it
is people actually need.

 - I don't see why we would need to flag fragmentation frames using
reserved bits rather than just using the frame type byte mechanic.
Just define four frame types for text and four frame types for binary
when we add binary (not fragmented, fragment start, fragment middle,
fragment end).
