Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Possible HoL blocking due to co-mingling payload and metadata (header) address space. (#1606)

[Mike Bishop <[e-mail]>]

The design from one of the unidirectional forks, where DATA frames described on which other stream to expect that chunk is actually no better for you, because you still need the rest of the header stream to get appropriate correlation information.  Basically, for any design which permits the body not to be a single contiguous unit on its own stream, you'll have this problem.

As @martinthomson says, the current design also addresses real issues, and I don't know that we want to rework our stream mapping again at this point.  We decided in Paris to go to a single stream because we wanted to be able to provide ordering amongst metadata and body chunks.
