Thanks for taking a stab at this.  

I haven't been closely following the core work; is it at a point where we think it won't change again and we can adopt it here, or should we wait?  What's our plan if this work is finalized before core, and core changes again?

The term I dislike the most is "field line".  This is a good description of what was there in HTTP/1.x, but with H2+, the concept of a "line" is completely foreign.

+Field list:

Would it be better to call this a Field section, rather than a list?

+  also contain duplicate field lines.  The header field and trailer field
+  sections of an HTTP message each contain a field list.

+Field block:

Should this be a Section block, or Field Section block?
