>From looking at all the integer fields in QUICv1, it looks like at this point everything is a varint except the versions, packet numbers, connection ID lengths (which all have valid reasons for their lengths), and the transport parameter identifier and transport parameter lengths. Switching transport parameters to QUIC format (as opposed to TLS presentation language) feels fitting to me, saves bytes on the wire, and will facilitate innovation down the road.
