+In contrast to HTTP/2, stream concurrency in HTTP/3 is managed by QUIC.  QUIC
+considers a stream closed when all data has been received and sent data has been
+acknowledged by the peer.  HTTP/2 considers a stream closed when the frame
+containing the END_STREAM bit has been committed to the transport. As a result,
+the stream for an equivalent exchange will typically remain "active" for one
+additional round trip.  HTTP/3 servers might choose to permit a larger number of
+concurrent client-initiated bidirectional streams to achieve equivalent
+concurrency than were permitted in HTTP/2, depending on the expected usage

"permit a larger number...than were permitted" makes sense, but there are so many words between them that it's kind of hard to parse.
