Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Specify behavior for post-handshake CRYPTO messages (#2524)

For example, if an endpoint receives a packet containing stream data that is a retransmission of previously received data, that endpoint in effect is dropping that STREAM frame. 

I don't think this is a fair characterization. For the sender, it doesn't really matter if it was this copy of the data, or an earlier STREAM frame containing exactly the same data. The ACK signals that the data was delivered to the application, and that's all that matters.

Exactly the opposite. Processing the CRYPTO frame would mean to deliver it to the TLS stack. Here it's dropped one layer below that. Everywhere else in the spec, we use "processing" in the sense that the data has been acted upon, not in the sense that the frame was merely parsed.
