So, we're just going to give the entire web all of the instructions, and we don't actually _care_ if they implement HTTP 2.0 or not. We're not responsible if they do.

Sort of like handing someone a weapon, and then disclaiming responsibility for what happens afterward because you had no idea he'd actually use it!

Sorry, this seems to me to be specious.

    Thanks

I think that Bruce's concerns apply to deployment, not to the
IETF's work.
