One concern I have about adding the greedy DATA frame is that it may very well mean that no implementation will actually generate sized DATA frames:

> Because it is easier to support only a single DATA frame of indeterminate size, it is likely that many implementations will do just that.

Which, in turn, will mean that a large chunk of everyone's HQ code that reads DATA frames with sizes will go  unutilized.  The atrophy and death of a sized DATA frame -- perhaps in the next version of QUIC -- is the next logical step.
