Re: [hybi] Framing take IV

So it appears that I have over stated the near-consensus, as it looks like
that all we have is

  +--------------------------------------------------+
  |  ???   (?)             |  Length(?)              |
  +--------------------------------------------------+
   |                      Data                        |
  +--------------------------------------------------+

Where there are about 4 different proposals how to handle the ???  and at
least 3 contenders for encoding the length.

I propose that we iterate here forever or until somebody stands victorious
having proved definitively beyond a  shadow of a doubt that in all
circumstances (or at least in all circumstances that the victor cares about)
that they have defined the ultimate way to encode the length of a frame that
is immune from all security attacks and is so simple that it will be
enshrined as a self evident truth for all time.

Alternately we could just pick 1 length encoding, accept that maybe it is
not exactly the ultimate encoding for all people in all circumstances, but
that it is good enough for most cases,  and then we can move on.
