I have no strong opinion either. But if we change, then now (before Chrome gets shipped with compression enabled ..)

Betreff: [hybi] [permessage-deflate] Renaming s2c_ and c2s_ prefix to server_ and client_

(Splitting into an independent thread)

Joakim suggested that we should rename them.

Initially, I chose these prefixes to make it easy to understand that they're attributes for each direction by including source and destination explicitly. But server_ and client_ are not so confusing, too. As these parameters are request about the peer's output, everyone should understand X_no_context_takeover and X_max_window_bits as parameters instructing compressor of X.

If we do this, we should do this right now. I don't have strong opinion about this change. If there's no objection, I'll take it.
