martinthomson requested changes on this pull request.

I think that this isn't quite right.  It makes an unstated assumption, namely that the transport maintains a fixed "active stream count" that it uses to increment the maximum stream ID.  The decision to increase the maximum stream identifier could be made at the same point in HTTP/3 as it is in HTTP/2 if the transport+HTTP stacks were to decide that.

I think that we can stop by saying that the state machine is different and that this might result in HTTP/3 streams being regarded as closed later than in HTTP/2.  This could reduce the effective stream concurrency if the number of streams is used in a similar way to decide the maximum stream ID.
