Sending a MAX in SETTINGS never changes the table capacity.  Sending a set capacity instruction is required if the encoder wants to change capacity.

I agree the 0 -> >0 transition could be handled by reject 0-RTT when an implementation enables the dynamic table after running for some period with it off.  Such cases are probably as rare as the server changing the max capacity it supports.  The argument I have for allowing it is that it's the same case as 1-RTT (client starts at 0, enable dynamic table later), so I don't think the implementation needs to be any more complex to handle it.  But I can live without it also.
