Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Make RST_STREAM a bit on STREAM frame (#775)

[ekr <[e-mail]>]

Well, I'm not sure how to respond to "I don't see the value". As I said, it would be convenient for certain implementation strategies to have everything that affects stream state grouped together so that you can just do:

```
1. Is this a stream-type frame?
2. Find stream
3. Pass to stream
```

And having the check in one require ranging across multiple types and then having the step in 3 require passing a type (and needing to keep the type lists in sync) is clumsy. I'm prepared to believe that it wouldn't be useful in your implementation, but it would be in Minq. Note that this would be somewhat easier if the ranges for all the stream-affecting frames were contiguous, but they are currently not.

WRT the question of the stream frames being bulkier, that seems like an artifact of how you construct things. You don't need to have MAX_STREAM_DATA in any frame, but rather you need a way to carry it, but presence or absence can be a bit or some other encoding. It need not chew up the full size.
