> I'm in the other camp. The spec doesn't describe means for frames to span packets, so how does a receiving peer detect that this has occurred, and how would it react if it did?

The fact that this is difficult does not prevent the sender from doing it. The receiver could detect that a stream frame was shorter that advertised and assume the next higher packet number must have the rest, or some of the rest. Of course, this is an incorrect assumption, but if the receivers implementation is the same as the senders, this could work for a while, until it breaks.
