Thanks @lnicco you made me realise I asked the question wrong. 

This is about reserved *and* non-core frames. Section 7 says:

> Implementations MUST ignore unknown or unsupported values in all
   extensible protocol elements. Implementations MUST discard frames ...

I have no strong use case for delivering frames before SETTINGS. But I worry it falls into a slight grey area that might affect interop. I think the correct answer is that the control stream is special case and we should clarify that in Section 7.
