> Because the client here is an attacker. However, I'm not seeing as much threat related to this specific change -- this is something the client can do regardless (generating many connections and causing state to be allocated for each).

The difference between a DoS using 1-RTT packets and 0-RTT packets is that the latter requires far less CPU cost on the attacker-side. This is because an attacker can just retransmit the same packets from different source tuples, whereas in 1-RTT case, an attacker needs to do expensive crypto operations (especially DH) for each connection it establishes.

Therefore my preference goes to limiting the capability of 0-RTT.

I like #2360 (maybe more than the approach I described in 
https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/pull/2355#pullrequestreview-194800021) because it clearly limits what a client can do using 0-RTT _for streams_.

The remaining question is what we should do for non-stream-related frames.

I still think that it makes sense to disallow the use of any non-stream-related frame in 0-RTT packets, considering the fact that:
* the frames allowed by 0-RTT and 1-RTT packets are nevertheless going to be different (CRYPTO, ACK)
* in practice there's no reason to send non-stream-related frames in 0-RTT packets
* potential security issues related to replay
