This is the fun bit, I don't know.  We have frames in hq that are like this.  Some of those could be very large (think DATA), others small.  Some are naturally suited to streaming (DATA again), others not at all (HEADERS).  Smaller sizes change the odds, but they don't prevent the problem completely until the size hits zero.

I don't think that we're going to create a technical solution to this one.  I suspect that it will remain as one of the bits of the protocol that will be hard to get right.
