I can the see the argument for QPACK being a generic quic compressor, but as it stands, it is fairly tightly coupled to HTTP. The title says

"QPACK: Header Compression for HTTP over QUIC"

And the static table is fairly tightly coupled to HTTP as well.

At the very least the static table should be negotiable in QUIC TP if the intend is to provide a generic compressor. This could be very useful BTW.
