The application data abstraction that QUIC offers right now is streams, which is what HTTP/3 uses; the text that @MikeBishop pointed to makes that clear. We could change how data is sent in QUIC from STREAM frames to something entirely different, and that should not matter to HTTP/3 as long as the abstraction is the same: reliable, in-order, byte-stream.

I'm not worried about this mapping becoming an effective invariant for HTTP/3, since (i) changing this contract (say, for datagram webtransport) requires negotiating that change at both HTTP and QUIC levels; and (ii) if we don't deploy extensions that use other mappings between HTTP data and QUIC frames, I don't think saying that we allow other mappings in the future does much.
